I am STUNNED by thing book. How do you have me wrapped around these characters' fingers so quicklyyyyy? Kris's incessant and shameless flirting, D'Vaughn's charming shyness and smartass quips, the entire extended family dynamic, all of it was just so precious. I am delighted by how authentically these characters fell in love over a six week period. And the fact that all their struggles were on how to support each other and improve themselves to be better partners rather than wallowing in their own hurt....perfection. Sad there wasn't more smut but that's my constant complaint so don't worry about it.
