Where We Found Our Heart by Natasha Bishop

4.0

“isn’t it funny how our minds can just block out bits of time like that?”

“i also find that i hate being alone with my thoughts.”

from beginning to end, both characters had me in a headlock. i was eager to read both povs because they had a lot going on in silence. the writing style made the reading experience effortlessly imaginative and interactive for me.

isaiah sparked my interest since book 1. he’s the jokester in the friend group but sometimes people use jokes to mask/hide the painful memories that they’re plagued with. his charisma and his ability to make the people around him happy made my heart burn. he’s like a golden retriever but trust he knows how to put it tf down!

nina minds her business but zay came in and uprooted her life in the nicest way possible. her character had sooo much going on but her ability to smoothly deal with each situation was commendable. from dealing with grief, taking care of her siblings, maneuvering her relationship with isaiah, managing the bar. phew. i was tired for her.

their relationship flourished beautifully…from practically nothing, to friends, to best friends, to the love of each others life. the found family and unexpected pregnancy was written nicely. the family scenes added to the wholesomeness of this book. don’t get it twisted though the spicy scene’s tainted it at times
