4.5

Such a fun, sexy read! A bit heavy on the instalust and family drama for my tastes, but it was very well handled. I really enjoyed reading Janelle's journey to putting herself first, and I appreciated that she

didn't forgive her mom or sister by the end.

Rome was a great hero who paid attention to all the little things!

This was greattt!!! I didn’t always love all the bullshit that Amerie and Arnold pulled thought the book and how that took away time from the MC’s at times (tho obviously I know that’s the plot i do kinda wish there had been a bit less time focused on them) but Janelle and Rome were absolutely adorable together and I loved their chemistry and how their relationship evolved

I had such a great time reading this book. 

This book follows Janelle who is attending her sister’s wedding in Tulum. Her sister just so happens to be marrying her ex boyfriend. Enter Rome, the best man and bestfriend of the groom, who’s always had a thing for Janelle but kept his distance. Now, just by that premise you’d expect this book to be drama filled but it really wasn’t. Instead this book was more about the emotional connections between the characters and the growth of our main character Janelle. 

Rome and Janelle had such amazing chemistry. Their banter was so funny. They were such a joy to read about. I really loved how composed Janelle was throughout this book. Because her sister was really trying her. I wanted to fight her sister on her behalf. I’m glad she did eventually confront her. I’m also glad she had Rome for support. 

Rome is that guy. From jump he was down bad. All he wanted was to take care of Janelle and love on her. He was so romantic and patient with her. I loved that he stood up for her in moments when she didn’t stand up for herself and moments when she wasn’t even around. Rome is a top tier book boyfriend! 

I also really loved the group of friends in this book. I’m really hoping we are going to get some of their stories. ‘Cause I could see a little something something between a few of them. 

Go read this book!!

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
