Great story!

The whole premise of this book really had me intrigued and the story kept me interested enough that I couldn't put the book down. I read this is one sitting because I had to see Lonan and Birdie get their long awaited happily ever after.

This was a cute and interesting take on a hovkdy romance, I enjoyed the brothers best friend trope and the characters had great development. The mystery about the mother was a nice aspect especially the diary entries. There was some quite quick resolution at the end but I did enjoy it

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

That child is NOT 4 years old. Terrible writing of a kid. The premise intrigued me but I’m done for now. Might pick it back up but unlikely.

The reason for the third act break up was revealed way too soon ...and turned the whole story into a waiting game more than anything else. The premise of the story was excellent. The smut was superb(that closet scene🥴😮‍💨). The execution of the story though, that left a lot to be desired.
