Another winner for Chestnut Springs 😭

This would have been a 5 star read if I didn't have to yell "JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER!!" a million times. I understand the trauma, but I also hate a miscommunication trope.

I adore Sloane and the sisterhood that is forming from female friendship. She was strong and feisty and so cute.

This one also got me excited for Winter's story. This did a good job of making her seem human and loveable.

More books completed in the series than left to read... and that breaks my heart.

This book would have been a solid 4 ⭐️ if it weren’t for a couple things. 1) Flashback narration was set apart by a jarring echo effect that was unpleasant and distracting. At first I thought there was something wrong with my device. It took a while to accept that it was actually intentional. 2) I really don’t like a man choking a woman or putting a hand on her throat forcefully during sex, even when it’s fully consensual. That is dangerous and, to me, deeply unsexy. Other than those elements, this was overall a satisfying friends-to-lovers story about two people learning to live authentically and reclaim their own power.

Jasper and Sloane were adorable! Their will they won't they childhood love was super cute! I appreciate their communication about issues but my issues comes from something else. Although the "cousins" thing isn't my issue it is a tad weird. My issue comes from the sudden 180 Sloane has in regards to the wedding. In the beginning she is adamant on marriage and that her dad has her best interest at heart. All it takes is one video of Sterling fucking a stripper? It just feels like she'd go to her dad and not Jasper with all the backstory given on why she was getting married in the first place.

3⭐️This should’ve been the best book in the series thus far. As a friends-to lovers story, it should’ve had the emotional development/connection that the previous books lacked. Instead it was the opposite. Both of the characters spend hundreds of pages in their heads thinking “Oh I am like madly in love with this person but there’s no way they’ll reciprocate. I can’t ruin this/lose them.” Yet you still don’t really know why they love each other so much. They drag on like this for a LONG time. It became very repetitive and by the end I wasn’t a fan of either of the characters. Also the storyline with the mmc’s brother was such an unnecessary downer. This book wasn’t the worst, but it sure wasn’t for me.
