I liked this much more than the previous two books in the series. I feel like the pacing was good and the conflicts weren't there just for the sake of having a conflict. I also liked these romantic leads as characters more than the romantic leads of the previous books.

 ⚠️: Death of a parent, grief related to losing a parent, terminal illness, mentions of sexual assault, living organ donation

I just absolutely love this series and I think this may be my favorite one yet. I really like friends to lovers tropes because I feel like it takes out a lot of unnecessary tension that can sometimes annoy me in other tropes.

Noah and Alexis are fantastic characters and I really enjoyed watching both their separate journeys and their journey together as a couple. They were such great compliments to one another and we're the best support system for one another.

I just love the bromance book club. Honestly these books should be required reading for men. Feelings and showing affection to friends are okay and should be shared!! And I love how this series puts that front and center.

I don't know if I just didn't see any content warnings or if they weren't posted or what, but I was not expecting the amount of conversations surrounding losing a parent at a younger age. Those are still extremely tough conversations to read for me when I'm not totally expecting them. They end up being pretty therapeutic but they catch me by surprise and it takes me a minute to recenter.

Many discussions about the grief of losing a parent (death in combat and death from cancer)
