Brilliant read – really enjoyable – I hate Tennessee’s family – they all deserve a kick up the arse and to be disowned.

I'll be honest, this book gave me high anxiety. The Heroine is the town's outcast. Labeled as a 'whore' ever since she got pregnant in high school. (After having sex for the first time.) The father immediately leaving town, not only leaving her to raise the baby on her own, but leaving her to defend herself. The things she put up with from everyone who knew her (and it is a small town so everyone knew everyone,) including her own family is appalling. The Hero is the town's Golden Boy who can do no wrong... and that means not getting involved with the towns black sheep. What they don't know, is that he's had a thing for her since they were kids. In general this is a lighter read, but with frustration you'll feel on behalf of the Heroine (and Hero for that matter,) it makes it a little heavy. All that keeps you invested though, so you'll want to see it to the end to see if she finally sticks up for herself. There is some humor so there is a little stress relief throughout. There is sexual content. Despite (or perhaps because of) all that anxiousness the story delivers, it is well written and hard to put down.
emotional funny lighthearted sad

love love love

One of the best books I’ve read . I laughed and cried like a baby. I couldn’t put the book down. L.J. Shen never disappoints every book she writes is a masterpiece to read.

4,5 Stars!
I liked it a lot. I liked the dynamic between the characters, the forced proximity and the banter. What I didn’t like was that she just let everyone step over her. I know it’s because she does not think she deserves better bla bla bla
He was so right at times that she was just spineless. Nonetheless I really liked it!!

fantastic read

Five amazing stars for a sweet romance! I loved it. Cruz and Tennessee were amazing. I couldn’t put it down!
emotional funny sad medium-paced

I didn’t find this as terrible as some of the reviews but I’m also more of a sucker or cheesy romance
