Thank you to Megan Cousins for sending me a copy of this book to read and review! I know this series is only two books so far but both have my entire heart. I loved Jenna and Marcus. Their friends to lovers transition was so well done and I loved how long they'd been a part of each other's lives. This can be read as a standalone, but I enjoyed seeing the cameos from book one so it helped for context. I also think that Cousins nails the real and vulnerable aspects of her characters. Learning more about arthritis and the struggles that came along with it was really interesting and I think it's important to discuss things that might be difficult sometimes. The scientific backgrounds were also really cool. I loved how strong the characters were and how they gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings. I also think these books are structured a but differently and I enjoyed the relationship development when it was like this. Overall, I love these siblings and I'm so excited to keep reading the rest of the series!
