This was the best book in the series in my opinion! The love interests’ chemistry was off the charts and made for such a page turner. I would give this a higher rating, but the ending felt a little rushed? Either way, this is totally worth a read!

This wasn’t as strong as the first two. Ex-military alpha male falls in love with manic pixie dream girl in an opposites attract romance. At the beginning, neither main character really appealed to me but by the end I really loved the male love interest. The female lead straddled the line between quirky and annoying. As usual, the diverse ensemble cast was great. The depiction of mental illness was sensitive and well-handled. The “spicy” scenes were cringe - aside from the fact I generally don’t like them,

there’s only so many times you can talk about “lush” curves or the “crescents” of the female lead’s cleavage

and I just couldn’t even after 3 books of that kind of phrasing.

Definitely my favorite book by Sara Desai so far! In the beginning, I was unsure about Jay and I do still think that his stoic and serious personality was overboard to the point of making the reader dislike him in the first few chapters but his character kind of did a 180 sudden shift and became a lot more loveable . The last few chapters are absolutely the best part of the book, especially from

the hike & Jay’s mom’s accident

and onward.
