 Eu gosto muito de alternar a leitura com alguns livros como este, onde sabemos como será o desfecho, rápida e cheia de clichês previsíveis de friends to lovers. 

Dos três da série, acho que esse foi o mais fraco no enredo, o casal não me pegou muito durante o desenvolvimento da história, tinham várias coisas acontecendo em paralelo e senti que ficou um pouco raso. Mas serviu perfeitamente ao propósito da leitura.

4.25

I loved the themes of this book and how it dealt with grief. One of the things I hate with romance novels is sometimes things can seem far fetched and that wasn’t the case this time. I also love that, even though we didn’t spend too much time with Noah and Alexis in previous books, their chemistry wasn’t lacking because of that.

3.75

3,75 I definitely liked this one better than the last. It wasn’t as cringey but definitely still cringey. I feel like these books are my trashy rom-com era. I don’t usually like friends to lovers, but I did like this one because

they definitely liked each other a little when they met but were good friends anyway and stayed like that for a year and a half.

I think friends to lovers bothers me more when they’ve been friends for a WHILE. 

Also this quote KILLED me

“Mack snorted at Malcolm. ‘What would you say is your pet peeve about poorly crafted romance novels?’ Malcolm crossed his arms. ‘That would be when two adult characters avoid having a grown-up conversation that could change the course of the story’”.

 I think Noah might be my favorite Bromance book club guy. I listened to this one and the last on audiobook and sometimes the girl voices were weird but I got used to it quickly, but it would throw me off to go from a Noah POV chapter to an Alexis POV
