I really enjoyed Caught Up! The story was engaging, the romance felt real, and the characters had great chemistry. The only downside for me was the audiobook narration—it didn’t always hit the right tone. Still, a solid and heartfelt read I’d recommend to romance fans.

The first book needed to end at the first book. I am not sure if the TikTok demand was high for this book, but I don’t feel like the author wrote a well thought out plot.
