Chloe Liese has once again given us an amazing Bergman Brothers (this time a sister) book with If Only You! This time we have a sweet slow burn romance with Ziggy, the youngest sibling, and Sebastian, one of her brother's (Ren) best friends. Chloe crafted a perfect (fake) friends to lovers romance with mutual pining, and emotional depth. There are so many aspects of Ziggy's story that I relate to and I loved rooting for her the entire time! It's been so amazing to see Ziggy mature throughout the series to being a leading lady.
Chloe will continue to be my go to for carefully handling disability and chronic pain in her books. Her thought and care display that she's an own voices author. As with the other Bergman Brothers books, If Only You can be read as a standalone, but it's more rewarding to read if you've read all of the other books in the series. I can't wait for Viggo's story!
Thank you to NetGalley and Chloe Liese for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
