wow talia hibbert has truly done it again with the grumpy/sunshine dynamic! eve was definitely my favorite as i really resonated with her the most with her emotions and coming to terms with life making decisions yet always feeling like she didn't do something right and never lived to her full potential til now. i really enjoyed the whole sorta rivals or more like dislike at first sight yet with the dual pov we were able to see that wasn't the case and both eve and jacob were quite attracted to each other, just misunderstood the other's personality at first impression. this particular installment of the brown sisters books had really good character development and realization of one's self. i liked how eve and jacob built up their friendship into relationship based off getting to know one another's backgrounds and their differing emotional shields. overall, i loved the storyline especially one figuring out who they are, along with the really cute small town backdrop, along with monty and his fun sisters. there was something particularly lacking for me on the romance though in contrast how i adored danikazafir in their entirety beginning to end, but i really did like both eve and jacob as characters separately, their eventual ability to talk things out acknowledging feelings along with their adorable moments especially jacob always admiring her and falling more from afar. nevertheless, everyone who has enjoyed the other brown sisters books will love this one as well for some good fluffy yet quite steamy romance!
