This book was such a fun romp! I enjoyed the plot, characters, their arcs, and even the third-act conflict/resolution. Sometimes the third-act conflict can feel too much to overcome and resolve, but this was perfect. I sincerely did not enjoy Jacob in the first third of the book and felt he was being overly rude verging on cruel. This is the reason I knocked half a star off. I'm also unsure about how I feel about the self-diagnosis that happens here. I think if Jacob was the only autistic person in the book, the rating would've been lower, as it would've felt like generalizing autistic people are difficult, rude, and abrupt.

Oh darling Eve!!! It took a second for this one to connect, but man I was hooked when it did. Eve is the youngest of the Brown sisters and the wayward soul of the family. After an ultimatum from her family, Even finds herself in a job interview gone wrong. One awkward fender-bender later she finds herself working at an in with a very handsome and surly innkeeper who can’t seem to help but fall for Eve’s whimsy. This story took the age old family screw up narrative and really turned it on it’s head. I loved Eve’s journey of self discovery from falling love with a new career to opening up to the possibility of being on the autism spectrum. The disability and autism rep was great. The spice was masterful. A beautiful way to wrap up the story of the Brown sisters!
