Megan Quinn is a go-to for me. This book got close to my heart and soul fast. There’s something special about reading and feeling with the characters rather than reading about and feeling for them, if you understand. It’s an emotional experience, a roller coaster of emotions. You cry so much that you need to close the book but when you open it you find laughter and love. This is how reading should be!

Another amazing rom-com by Meghan Quinn. Somehow every story of hers is cute, has loveable characters, draws you in within the first few pages, and has "spicy" scenes that give you all sorts of inspiration 😉

What I really loved about this book is how relatable it was in the way that we all resort to our basic instincts when our mental health/lives are in danger. The communication about the mental health and habits of both the FMC and the MMC we're on point and reflective and really made you think about your own life and connect to them. It's a great book!

I was hoping for a little more of a peek into Kelsey and JP (that’s why I read this to begin with) but even without as much as I’d have liked, it was still a cute book. Something about Myla and Ryot I just couldn’t get into - I didn’t really relate to either which made understanding their positions tricky at times. Overall though, a solid 3 star read.

What an emotional read! I cried! It was so beautiful to read as the couple fell in love. The chemistry the two characters had was amazing. It was a beautiful story from start to finish. My only issue with the story was the FMC was very immature in my eyes to the point where parts of her made it hard to read. Eventually she came around and I enjoyed her pov but it took way too long. Some actions of hers were just childish. But overall the story was beautiful, steamy, spicy and so damn good.

Not my favorite Meghan Quinn. Mostly because while Myla’s emotions behind her decision were totally valid, the decision itself seemed super freaking rash considering her history with Ryot. And the stuff she did that two weeks she spent trying to distance herself from him before JP and Kelsey’s wedding was petty and childish, and REALLY annoyed me. Ryot made a mistake, sure, but that dude was ridiculously dreamy. Also, the whole Nichole thing at the end felt like it came out of left field and was kinda unnecessary, if you ask me.
