"I can't think straight when he watches me like that, like he's seeing color for the first time. My mind is a wonderful mess, where all I know is every single part of me lights up with his touch, lets me know that right here with him is exactly where I was always meant to be."
Garrett Anderson is a a hot mess... but only when it comes to Jennie. Jennie who just so happens to be his best friend, and team captains little sister. He knows it's a bad idea to chase after her, but he can't seem to resist her. Even though her and her sass scare him half the time.

Jennie and Garrett is such a great pairing. They're both such big personalities and definitely push each others buttons but it creates the best sparks. I am a SUUUUUUCKKKKERRR for brother's best friend/best friend's sister. The sneaking around? The undeniable chemistry? The sweet moments just between them?! Becka Mack did this trope so well.
This is definitely a book where I suggest readers look up tw/cw. The main characters go through heavy things that create the walls that fully keep them from diving into the relationship. I loved that we got to see Jennie's walls slowly come down the more she trusted Garrett. They had such a great connection and support system within each other.
I think my favorite part of this book was getting to see Ollie and Carter again though. We get to see Carter in full blown chaos, married, about to be a dad mode. He's the biggest teddy bear and absolutely crazy. I SOBBED at the end of this book and it was because of a Carter/Ollie moment. I still really loved Jennie/Garrett but Carter/Ollie supremacy. I can't wait for Adam's book to come because I think he's going to really get me. I'm rooting for that sweet man.
I great addition to this series and enjoyable if you like the brother's best friend/best friend's sister, friends with benefits to lovers, found family vibes.
