Haley Cass has a true storytelling ability because the fact that she can write both a dual POV, dual timelines thick romance book and a single POV little novella that spans years is a FEAT! Never did either book feel slow or drag.
Absolutely loved getting to see Ellie and Mia’s love story play out. I will say, I was only slightly disappointed in all of the back and forth conversations. It did feel a little too miscommunication-y for no real reason. I wish she had leaned more into the introspection Riley really got in On the Same Page. The spice also felt a little too quick after a big (and amazingly well-executed) trauma reveal, but that’s also rather true to my own WLW experiences lmfao so I guess I can’t criticize it all that much.
