Charlie is chaos and good intentions made flesh. He is kind and willing. He is passionate and loves with all of his heart. And I love that! The ADHD rep was prominent but not overly in your face. As someone who has ADHD I always question how much of the traits and manerisms get picked up on by neurotypical readers. I never know. I recognized a lot of Charlie to be impacted by his ADHD and was happy to see it reflected on page. But I don't knoe if it was obvious to everyone else.
But take it from me, the rep was amazing. Casual but present. Not just a lable for funsies, it actually impacted him in tangible ways.
Nova, boss babe extraordinaire. Kind human, tattooed grumpy girl. Becketts little sister. A person who wants to do good. To succeed. To not let the people she loves down. Also she has migraines, and the rep was amazing. She has one big attack on page and I LOVED how that was handled!!
I saw bits of myself in both of them. I love it when that happens! And they made a lovely couple. Or well... friends with benefits to something more, haha. This book had the trope 'everyone knows but them' and it had me kicking my feet multiple times.
Borisons writing in general is very giggle and kicking-my-feet inducing. It is a warm hug, a comfort and a distraction. I always will recommend this series to anyone looking for comfort stories.
After I finished reading I was kind of sad. It had ended. But the longer I think about this book, the more I love it. The more it feels like the perfect ending (with a little room for bonus stuff in the future). I am satisfied and happy where everyone ended up!
So. Read this book for all the banter, nicknames, friends to lovers, small town, bossbabe and goofy loving vibes!

I cannot tell you how much I adore B.K. Borison.
Charlie and Nova's story was so worth the wait. I have adored spending my time in Ingewild and this was the perfect end to the series. B.K. Borison is so good at creating the small town vibe and, as funny and silly as the characters often are, the town she created still feels so real to me. If I could live in any romance book, I'd probably choose this one.
The wit and humour in this book was just perfect. Charlie's personality just jumps off the page and Nova is his perfect compliment. This was by far my favourite read of the year (so far!)
