I’m going to be honest, I was absolutely drawn into this book by its cover. Then I saw it was written by Marley Valentine and automatically had to read it.

It was heartbreaking at times but there was also humor in moments that helped break up the tears. Miscommunication is a huge part of this book and also cheating. Unfortunately it is heavy cheating between the two MC’s. Also you get a huge backstory of the fiancé Elena in the book. While it is nice she isn’t brushed under the rug, it’s and MM book so I wished to see more of the back story between the two.

All in all a good book! The author has a unique writing style that I thoroughly enjoy!

2.5 stars. Not bad necessarily, but it didn't really hit for me..

Absolutely loved this book!

I love their friendship, everything they go through together that paves the way for their forever.
Loving eachother from afar until they can finally have eachother. The development of their relationship is perfect. I can't wait to read the bonus epilogue because I need more of them!

This is a great story with so many emotions. I devoured this book. Highly recommended

This book was sooo cute!! I seriously love friends to lovers. It just makes my heart sing with how precious it can be.

There were just 2 problems I had with this book. One being the amnesia plot line. I didn't know I hated amnesia romances until now. But dang, it pissed me off.

And 2, sometimes I mixed up the 2 POV's of Gael and Jordan. Just sometimes their voices kind of clashed and I'd forget who's POV I was reading.

But other than that, this was such a good friends to lovers story that left my heart... well... aching.
