Close Call by Ki Stephens

4.5

Ki Stephens does it again!

This book was so easy to read, I immediately fell in love! Hayes and Emmy had the most hilarious and sweetest moments ever; from their cute little banter because he loved to flirt with her endless to them learning to not just be their own person but to also support one another.

I loved how these characters were flawed. Hayes had his own baggage to deal with while Emmy did also. It wasn’t just one of them being happy and helping the troubled one like I’ve seen happen countless times in books. In this one, everything felt so raw and yet so beautiful.

I also loved the representation in this one and how everyone reacted to it (not their reactions because most of them irritated me but the fact that they were true reactions I would see someone have in real life — this helped make the characters feel more like actual people than words written on paper).

I really enjoyed the pacing in this, the book went by so quickly that when I realised I was almost finished, I wanted to cry. I wish I could reread it again for the first time! The author did a fantastic job with this one and I wholeheartedly recommend you picking this up!

Thank you to the author for giving me an eARC copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
