I was dreading finishing this book because it was getting too long to my liking. For starters, I felt there were many plots going on, between Noah's family, Alexis' family, their love story AND, ON TOP OF THAT, the meeting thing with the zoning board. Like, give me a break. I was happy I was finally finishing the book until I remembered there was this other plot we still had to close and I just thought the end was never coming. Furthermore, I didn't quite connect with Noah and Alexis' relationship. They sold this as a "friends to lovers" story, but at the same time this is the third book of the Bromance Book Club series, so I would've preferred if the characters were presented as FRIENDS in the previous books. I mean, I would've liked for Alexis and Noah to be shown as a possible "thing" in the previous books, or at least that they had met in the previous books. Not in a time gap between the second in this third book in which they became wonderful friends. I WANT TO SEE THEM BECOME FRIENDS because I just don't buy the "they're really good friends now, although they met right after what happened in the second book and we didn't show you". Well,  boomer, because I wanted to see that dammit. Another option would've been to show flashbacks or something about what happened in that time gap, I don't know.

Between that and the all the drama that I didn't really care about anymore towards the end, I'm giving this 2.25⭐, because at least I get to see the Bromance Book Club being chaotic once again.
