This was cute, as all of Nix’s books are; but it just felt like it was missing a little oomph.

**This book was a Kindle Unlimited loan.**
This is the third Susannah Nix novel that I've read and must say that I am smitten. While her romances wouldn't be classified as "sweet" (translation: devoid of sex), she does spend a good bit of time developing the friendship between the hero and heroine before getting to the bedroom activities. Her characters are young but usually over 25 which is always nice for me since I am moving away from reading books about characters who are barely old enough to vote.
Our hero Scott was a recovering drug addict and, while I don't have personal experience with this issue, I think Nix handled it well. Sometimes books dealing with this issue can read like a PSA or an after-school special, but that wasn't the case here. Scott's mental issues were dealt with seriously without making the tone of the book overly angsty. I especially liked the fact that our heroine Grace was not portrayed as the magic fix for all of Scott's anxieties and issues.
Out of the three Nix books that I have read, this one seemed to have more explicit sex in it. I tend to start skimming if a book has more than one sex scene, but surprisingly I didn't feel the urge to do that here. That is a testament to the author's skill in making each love scene feel important to the plot instead of just another interlude.
I would recommend this book, and I can't wait to see what Susannah Nix writes next.

More of a 4.5 if I am totally honest. This is a completely adorable and feel good romance that has a perfect balance of sexy scenes as well. The characters are great and written so well, I cared for both leads as a couple but also as separate individuals. I really liked the pacing of the romance, it felt so much more realistic than some romances because it wasnt rushed into the steamy stuff, but took the time to build a more believable attraction that was founded on more than looks and sex appeal. And the movie star trope is always appreciated by me.

Susannah never disappoints. This was another book to love. The heartfelt moments and the adorable quirkiness from Scott and Grace was so relatable and enjoyable to read. Keep up the amazing writing!
