If you love the Alexis Rose arc on Schitt’s Creek then you’ll love this book. And, the sex is SOOOO HOT.

This book was such a cute and enjoyable read! Seeing Piper’s world turn upside down when she’s told to move back to her childhood home town with her sister, after a reckless decision that ended up with her in jail, was very amusing. Seeing this trip turn from unwanted to eye opening was such a cute journey. She grows closer with her sister, grows a connection to her father and his family, makes unlikely friends with the townsfolk and finds unsuspecting love.

It’s just such a good read. It balances meaningful relationships and character develop with spice and laughable moments. Seeing Piper and Brendan grow for each other is wonderful, and makes these characters so lovable. It could be easy to lose Piper’s likability to a stereotype but her party girl tendencies are likable, not cringeworthy. The one issue I have with this book is how the author presents herself on social media. The first time I read this book I didn’t think anything came off as creepy or pervy, but after watching the author’s TikToks I can’t help but Think about her when I read the book.

10/10. This has got to be one of my new favorite romances. I wasn't even planning on reading this book right now but I am so glad that I did. I am not usually someone who has book boyfriends or crushes, but Brendan has made it to the top of the list (with Peeta Mellark, obviously). The first about 100 pages were a little mediocre but after that, I practically couldn't put the book down and was constantly thinking about it even when I wasn't reading. I love the character growth from the characters and all of the ensemble characters as well. The ending felt somewhat abrupt with not a lot of resolution time but not too much that it threw me off. I love this book and I highly recommend.
