I loved this! A different premise for a romance than I’m used to and the secondary plot rivaled the romantic plot. Only thing that made it not quite 5 stars for me was the pacing, I worried in the middle we had already passed the biggest plot points (it hadn’t).

Chloe's baby sister has FAS from her mom's addiction. Her mom gets sober throughout the book. Warren does have anger issues and punches a wall out of anger near the end of the book. He immediately regrets it. There's no physical violence against anyone though. Warren's younger brother is deaf.

This is my second Hannah Bonam-Young book and omg i love her work sm 😭🫶 I loveee that there’s no third act breakup and the loving family dynamic between them and their siblings despite their dysfunctional upbringing made my heart burst with joy. The angst and sexual tension prior to them getting together was written so well to the point that I was literally giggling and kicking my feet from the cuteness and excitement of where it could lead. This author has definitely become and auto-read author bc her work is simply amazing that I have no choice but to continue supporting her. 100000% recommend this and the rest of her works !!

This was sweet, a little spicy, had so much happiness between the couple instead of getting together on the last page, it had conflict without a third act breakup, found family, and a deaf side character with plenty of ASL use.

SO SO SO GOOD!! i have heard such good things about this series and holey moley, this was amazing. i loved warren and chloe so freaking much. like i was hooked in from the jump with chloe in the supermarket - hannah’s writing is so engaging, had my heart thumping, and was all around like a big hug. i loved that this didn’t have the typical 3rd act breakup - it was realistic & resolved realistically and i was so happy about that.
