Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes: Ex’s Rival, Road Trip, Forced Proximity, Grumpy/Sunshine, Only One Bed, Sapphic Subplot.

The Praise: I absolutely loved this. Millie’s so kind, funny, and trusting and I really enjoyed her interactions with Hollis and that he embraced her weirdness and loved her because of it. The banter was hilarious and their chemistry was electric.
I really enjoyed that Rose and Elsie’s love story was interspersed with Millie and Hollis’s. It emotionally wrecked me in the best way.
The Critique: I wish there was an epilogue!
Final Thoughts: Sweet, funny, heart-wrenching. Such an incredible book, a definite favorite of the year. Sarah has quickly become a new favorite of mine!
