Set in a single day, the Riva family is instantly likeable, their trials relatable and the sibling bond at the centre of the book a really beautiful set of relationships to behold. A fun crossover I didn’t expect with Carrie Soto as wel!

“She was a woman, after all. Living in a world created by men. And she had long known that assholes protect their own. They are faithful to no one but surprisingly protective of each other.”

I actually gotten goosebumps after finishing the last three lines. I was trying to feel it out if this was a 5 stars book or not because it started a little bit slow for me - not because of the book but just because of me since this wasn't my type of book, but after awhile, when you get to know the characters and their stories, I was just instantly fascinated. I devoured it right after (in 2.5 days to be exact). Although it was not tagged as romance, there was romance here and there, but definitely not the focus - although I really thought the romance would be hitting hard but bruh June and Mick's really made me hope. I'm so glad as well that I read the 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo before reading this one as there were a lot of cameos from it. I love that she wasn't even mentioned in the book, it was pretty ironic. I only later realized that it was THE Mick Riva that was in the said book. Plus points because it's a third person POV and it's not focused on just one or two characters but all characters - yes, the four siblings and even including the side characters. That's one of my favorite things about this book because I saw all point of view of the party-goers.

10/10 would definitely recommend this book to people both non-romance and romance reader. It scared me at first but really, this book taught me multiple things at once. Nina deserves the world.

I really loved this. I liked the format of the chapters working through time in the past and present. I loved the characters and their sibling dynamic. I didnt give 5 ⭐ because I thought all the people at the party was too much and I wanted more just about the family. Def gonna read more TJR!!!
