ARC Review

TOILB presents a solid contemporary romance with well-drawn main characters and engaging dialogue. The emotional depth is notable, exploring themes of second chances and personal growth. However, the plot is predictable and suffers from pacing issues, dragging at times. Supporting characters are less developed, lacking the complexity needed to make them truly engaging. While the writing is smooth and accessible, the story doesn't break new ground in the genre. It's a decent read for romance enthusiasts but may not satisfy those seeking something more unique. Overall, it's a three-star experience.
