I loved this as much as I loved 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 (the first in the series), and I didn’t think that was possible - I gobbled it up in one sitting! I sat down on my couch on a Sunday evening and did not get up until I had finished it which was definitely after 1 AM the next morning!
You meet Alexis & Noah in the second book, and Alexis especially is given a big storyline but not with a lot of background, so I was interested to see how her story developed.
This is a friends-to-lovers trope and it was so well done! There was a lot of side plots with complicated storylines - a couple of them felt a little forced, but overall they all wove together pretty well, and the story always came back to Alexis & Noah. Also, Alexis has a beast of a cat and the scenes with it had me shaking with laughter!
As with the first two in the series, I really appreciate how the author has the characters talk about romance novels and how the genre gets dismissed so easily by people who (typically) have never read one. It might me pandering a bit but I am here for it!
