This book made me feel so warm inside. I feel like I learned stuff about myself with the journeys the characters took me on and I loved every second of it. One or two plot points did feel like they could have have been more attention grabbing with a few slight changes. However, I liked how this made the story feel more realistic - not everything in life is some magical intense crazy thing! Sometimes it just *is*. I absolutely adored Anastasia and Nate to my core and their development as people throughout honestly really touched me, especially Anastasia's. The spice in the book was just the perfect amount and was so sweet and intimate whilst also being SPICY. Loved loved loved and can't wait to read her other book Wildfire with cute lil Russ!!!!<3

I really enjoyed the story of finding love where you don’t expect it, friends who are there for you no matter what, toxic people getting their comeuppance, and that while having a team/partner beside you is great you can also do things solo and be okay. 

That being said, I found this book to be too sexy? Like there was so much sex it was eventually just background noise. Definitely not an audiobook to listen to with the kids around, but by about half way I could have skipped through the sex scenes and still enjoyed the book. 

All sex aside, I loved the communication between all the characters (friendship and romantic relations) and the amount of times Nate and Stas mentioned therapy and how beneficial it was.

Questo libro mi è piaciuto molto soprattutto perché contiene una relazione non tossica e personaggi a cui ti affezioni subito!

Uniche pecche secondo me sono le troppe scene spicy e l’epilogo che era evitabile, anche se solitamente quel trope mi piace qui non era necessario.

Ho letto i capitoli bonus sul sito dell’autrice e sono molto carini.

Non vedo l’ora di leggere gli altri libri della serie. So che usciranno quelli su Russ e Harry 🥰 Sarebbe bello averne uno anche su JJ!
