Is it weird to say that this book had one of the best meet cutes ever considering what happened?

Probably. But I don't care.

I loved the crazy yet sweet dynamic between Gavin and Skylar! The friends-with-benefits trope isn't usually my cup of tea, but somehow this book made it work for me. I'm guessing it's because it's set in a small town, and I'm absolute sucker for small-town romances. It's also likely because of Gram and her words of wisdom that always get to me!

Overall, I love the Baileys, and I highly recommend this wild ride of a book!

another easy cute small town read!! gavin's been my fave since day one and i was so excited for his book and it didn't disappoint! there was more to gavin that we actually saw in the other books and finally seeing him struggled and finally excepting that he might not truly remember his parents, that they loved him deeply and he wasn't really the "not expecting baby" that he thought, really happy for him and for him to finally found someone who completes him, like skylar who is such an opposed to him, she's more shy and more anxious person, but the way they start as friends and he challenges her and inspires her to go out more and do some "trouble" with him its actually so fun!! i feel like i left skylar, about crowds and people she doesn't really know and how shy she is to meet new people, i mean im a little better but that's me for sure so i really loved skylar and after spending months without writing and with no inspiration, sooo glad gavin helped her and her going back to the small town helped too and im so happy eheh she deserves it and the world, she really is strong and has an amazing mind i could read her books, tho im not the biggest thriller person haha
also now im even more excited for logan's book, after that epilogue i know it was cara sooo lets go, their banter and their sexual tension is going to be on fire and i can't wait!!! and ok i wasn't expecting to be invested in skylar's parents story but damn they kinda a little stole the show ok, really liked that they got to reconnect and finally got together again it was really fun and cute not gonna lie!! loving this series, this family is everything! thought they were going to be my faves but i think asher and grace still have that place andkd tho skylar and gavin definitely come second! let's see the rest ehehe

I enjoyed Sky and Gav's story so much! I honestly can't get over Gav & Sky's numerous thrilling adventures.

This was so much fun to read. Both of the characters' playfulness and inhibitions suited how young they were, especially since Gavin is the baby of the Bailey brothers.

I definitely loved the idea of Sky being a writer (though, I just personally love stories about writers in fiction), and how though she gets anxious a lot, she's not whiny. Gavin as a wild child-daredevil was super refreshing to read. His hobbies was amped up by the setting of Tillikum, with all the mountains and rivers -- it's truly one of the best small town setups I've read. The author really paints a vivid picture and makes you feel as if you're actually (physically) there.

Caroline and Norman were also super cute to read about. Obviously small town romances heavily focuses on family dynamics, but this particular book in the series really amplified that. I love the sadness of Gavin being the young when they lost their parents and how even a free-spirit like him can feel lost in more ways than one.

There's a hint of intrigue and mystery surrounding this entire series, and for a moment, it felt like I was reading a cozy mystery book. True to its word, one of the scenes really did feel like a Scooby-Doo moment, which I truly enjoyed.

Highly recommend! As much as I love Skylar and Gavin, but Unraveling Him (Evan's story) is still my favorite so far. I'm diving right next into the next book which features Logan, so that should be exciting too. Definitely feeling a lot of angst from that book.
