Holy hot rain make-out, Batman! Y'all, I really liked the first book in this series (It Happened One Summer), but I effing LOVE this book.
ππ’π’π, πππ‘π, ππ‘π π¦ππ‘πππ₯ is everything. A reformed rake. A sweet female lead who is coming into her own. Complex family relationships. Slow burn. Heaps of sexual tension and chemistry. Freaking hot steamy scenes. I just loved this book. Hard.
Hannah is a perfectly relatable female lead who is supportive of everyone else in her life, but struggles to take charge of her own life and put her needs first. She is passionate about music and has worked hard to put herself in a position to help work on music for a major motion picture....if she can get over her impostor syndrome and speak up for herself.
Fox is so epically swoony. He is just a shallow man-whore on the surface, but we get to see the real him as the book unfolds. His own insecurities play a major part in his story and I loved his character. You just want to hug him and bone him at the same time. I especially loved Fox's mother. She is a ball-buster and very flawed, but so lovable and she gets her own character arc, despite being a fairly small character in the book.
ππ’π’π, πππ‘π, ππ‘π π¦ππ‘πππ₯ has laugh-out-loud moments, but also ALL THE FEELS. I might have teared up a bit. Okay, I did tear up a bit. Fox and Hannah are one of those book couples that you desperately invested in. Not just, "awwwwβwhat a cute love story" and more "if these two don't get over their issues and make it work I may never recover.
ππ’π’π, πππ‘π, ππ‘π π¦ππ‘πππ₯ starts with their ultra-sweet texting and ends with an HEA that will have you smiling and swooning. And don't forget some serious melt-yo-kindle scenes in there too.
Seriously, this is one of the best books I've read in a while and I am sure I will be re-reading it sometime in the future. It's just so damn good.
