There is a lot to love about this book. The cover is gorgeous and just drew me in right from seeing it on the library shelf. Then you fill the pages with a charming, flirty Irishman, who happens to own a pub and a wandering American musician down on her luck and you had me from the start. And then to top it off - the mental health rep in this book? Chef's kiss! I can only speak to the ADHD side of things, but that component felt spot on for me and the way they made space for each other and their needs was beautiful. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Last Call at the Local made me feel seen, and made me feel heard, and made feel all the emotions in the best way. This is a Mary Poppins book - practically perfect in every way.

This book made me giggle, and ugly laugh, and tear up so many times. Raine and Jack have such real struggles, and reading about Raine’s experience of ADHD made me feel so incredibly seen. I have never resonated so strongly with another character’s mental health struggles. Her logical leaps, her time blindness, her meandering tangents, all of it felt so familiar and I want to thank Sarah Grunder Ruiz from the bottom of my heart for creating Raine and doing her character justice.

Read this book if you love
🩵 ADHD and OCD rep
🩶 strangers to lovers
🩵 fluffy cats
🩶 cute/silly nicknames
🩵 books that feel like a warm hug

I will definitely be reading more from Sarah Grunder Ruiz. 5 stars!

Thank you Berkley Romance for sending me a free copy of this book. I never would have read this book if it hadn’t been sent to me, and I would have been missing out on something really impactful.
