Almost absolutely perfect. This book made me
feel ALL THE THINGS. I feel changed by the romance between Piper and Brendan. Fizzy veins!
I feel it’s important that Piper’s life, mannerisms and likes were not trivialised and made to seem wrong in the face of her adjustment to Westport. It’s all too easy with a woman’s character’s arc to take her to a place where her spotlight is dimmed ‘for her own good’ because she’s seen as silly, vain and materialistic. Like Piper says, it’s perfectly okay to love the things she does and dress the way she does but “is this it?” The feminist in me was sated.
I’d drop half a star for the very very very cliche and cringe worthy scene of everyone speaking at the grand opening. It was just a little too movie-worthy but honestly everything else makes up for it. Brendan’s conflict resolution skills in the middle of the book? Chef’s kiss. The recharging station? 100% something Piper would say and make stick, no matter how bizarre it sounded at first. Her growth? So relatable. Brendan’s acts of service? SWOON. I’m not ashamed to admit I felt like a giggly teenager reading this. So many laugh out loud moments.
Schitt’s Creek is one of my top 5 faves and Tessa did Alexis perfect justice.
Bring on Hannah and Fox!

This one took a little while for me to get into because I genuinely disliked the FMC at the start (I'm aware this is absolutely the point).
Once everything started to pick up, I mainly became obsessed with his full obsession with her. A little bit of enabling? Yes. But only in the best way of course 😉

Me siento estafada, me prometieron algo y no me lo dieron. Ha sido de los libros más aburridos que he leído en mucho tiempo.
My first Tessa Bailey book finally. My friend has always said I have to read her and finally did. Really enjoyed, listened to the audio book within a day.

This had just the right amount of smut for a romance novel (aka a lot)
