kinda my favourite of the series, this was a really fun read that had characters with human faults. By far becoming my favourite romance author for lesbian stories, I must say :D

Maybe it's my fault for reading this novel immediately after I finished reading a Jane Austen romance but damn. Is this what writing is like in the 21st century? The father-daughter relationship between Olivia and her dad seemed really wholesome and I wish it was given more spotlight. A lot of the writing seemed to be focused on checking the right boxes for writing a romance novel but the writer doesn't leave any imprint by which a reader can that they are reading an Alexandria Bellefleur novel. In other words, the writer did not put any thought into the stylistic development of the story. The relationship between Margot and Olivia is brought into sharp contrast with the relationship between Liv and Brad; perhaps a bit too much because it felt like reading a Reddit thread on relationship advice.

First off, that cover is GORGEOUS. This book started off strong. It was witty, funny, and it sucks you in right from the beginning. Alexandria Bellefleur’s writing weaves together a beautiful estranged best friends to lovers romance story.
This is a fast character-driven romance. It’s mostly about Margot and Olivia coming together and overcoming their emotional barriers. The chemistry is fabulous.
Olivia's character was also great addition to the cast and she fell in seamlessly with of Darcy, Elle, Brendon, and Annie. Seriously, these six all have amazing chemistry and make you want to be a part of their friend group. Bellefleur has mastered the perfect combination of romance, laughter, steamy scenes, and friendships.
Pick up this book - it’s one of my favorite books of the year!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for an honest review.

The best one of the series so far! The angst, the slow burn, the smut! All of it was so good. Think I might have a crush on Margot oops. Will miss this universe, Bellefleur's writing always felt like a warm comforting hug.
