*sigh*.... i really need to read rom-coms with older protagonists.
The self-development. The growth. The lack of drama. The grown-up behaviour and interactions. The normality of it all. Amazing. Wonderful. *Chefs kiss*. Get you a man like Rhodes!!!
I dove into this book and ATE IT ALL UP. You know a book is great when I have to finish the book before I can start writing my exam that I got 2 days ago.
This book was sweet, funny and a joy to read. Sure, it gets a bit too saucy at the end which I think is the climax we all anticipated considering the build-up of their relationship but other than that, this book hit the spot. I'm so happy I read this book and I look forward to reading other books by Mariana Zapata that can make me feel this way!
The way I was PULLED into this book, I have definitely missed the feeling of wanting to finish a book rather than do something else. Finishing this book was not a choice, it was by FORCE and I love it. This book had me gushing so many times, laughing out loud, giggling, facepalming, covering my mouth, gasping, ranting, all of it. You get the idea.
Okay, i think that was all. Thank you Mariana, ilovethisbooksomuchokaybye.

3.5 Stars
I honestly thought this book would easily be 5 stars, we have grumpy x sunshine and small town-what's not to love? HOWEVER, this was SOOO long for a romance. The audio book was 17 hours long, and so much of that was the MC rambling about hiking. I understood the importance of it, but I felt like I was reading a wilderness digest at some points.
I also felt like the slow burn was so slow they were gonna stay in the friendzone, started forgetting I was reading a romance.
There were some really great moments, and Rhodes has an incredible way with words, there were a lot of really great sentiments about grief that helped my process the death of my father.
Would I read this again? Maybe. I just might skip the endless monologues about hiking.

2.5 stars…I became interested and uninterested in the same breath. I just really wanted to love it but it wasn’t all the way there for me.

this book was cute, but maybe slow burn isn’t for me
i also wasn’t in agreement with the whole third act conflict, i thought it was blown out of proportion
will say that the amount of times “garage apartment” is uttered in this book made me want to pull my hair out

3.5 stars! I liked this one and the main character. It was definitely a slow, SLOWW burn so towards the end I was a little over it and found aurora to be a little weepy all the time. I liked her overall though. The whole sperm donating dad thing was a little strange and the poor kid being grounded for SIX MONTHS seemed psychotic but otherwise good story hah
