So cute! The emotional development was so well done & the perfect pacing. Such a sweet love story with well developed characters. Sunshine meets sunshine but they both have their own trauma that they’re working with. Sweet love story with an edge.
Well written & developed side plots & characters.

This book is simultaneously exactly what I thought it would be and nothing like I thought it would be. The plot went exactly where I thought it would go but took a detour to gaslight, gatekeep, and girl boss; manipulate and mansplain (and a pit stop at prison). 

Dual POV and one doesn’t use quotation marks to indicate a character is speaking but instead used : like a script would and that annoyed me.

One of my top 3 reads is 2021! Cutest story, lovable cast of characters, and Tiffy and Leon's story is just heart-warming. Have been raving about this non-stop and is now my go-to book to give as gift since I finished it :)

Nice fluffy romance with a bit of realistic drama and a dash of spice. I'm happy I went with the audio version because having dual POV, read by actors I could actual picture as their characters was lovely. 

Miscommunication trope, but is resolved fairly quickly. 

I've rated it a 3.5 rather than a 4, only because I had some trouble getting into it. Nothing against it at all, it just didn't hook me for some reason.

I absolutely adored this book. It gave me a wide range of emotions from happy to sad to joy to anger just everything in between it made me cry both tears of joy and tears of sadness. Definitely recommend
