This was an incredibly sweet story like cavity inducing levels of sweet. My only complaint is the pacing- it felt just a smidge insta-lovey for me. I just wanted to see more of their back and forth to make the pay off of them coming together that much sweeter. Still adored it and Hannah has become an auto-buy author for me now!

<spoilerThis story is fast paced (by the 55% mark they were already together), but I think the author did such good job with the execution that it’s barely noticeable and didn’t really bother me. It did, however, stress me the hell out because that meant there was still 50% of the book where things could have gone completely wrong (which stressed me out till the very end because everything is calm until like the last chapter before the epilogue).

I really loved both Chloe and Warren, but my actual favorite character was Luke. The kid was amazing.
Anyway, all together they make a very cute family.

One thing I did not like: we have the main character mentioning a Harry Potter movie marathon on page. I know this series has been picked up by a publisher, so I checked in the with author and she said they should be able to change it in the republished version.

Content Warnings: foster care and adoption, addiction (parent), dugs, alcohol, removal from parent due to substance abuse and neglect, death of a parent by overdose, anger management issues, strained parent-child relationships, anxiety and panic attacks, ableism.

Representation: former foster kid female mc who becomes a guardian for her newborn sister, baby sister with fetal alcohol syndrome, former foster kid male mc who is the guardian for his little brother, deaf little brother. The brother and the MCs all communicate with ASL.

Somehow this story is still lighthearted even with the deeper topics metioned. 
But it qas a sweet short read with nice tension between the MCs but mainly I just love me a found family.
Spice 1/5
