Wreck My Plans by Jillian Meadows

3.25

lighthearted medium-paced

after reading an intense thriller, this was a nice comfy breather to cleanse my mind with afterwards. the slow burn was paced well, their chemistry was great and im a huge fan of the age gap and brother's-best-friend tropes, so this worked out nicely for me even though i do think the impact of the reason why gavin ghosted lena and the entire family for three years wasn't really hitting as well as i think the author hoped. besides that though, i did resonate with both lena and gavin and their own problems as characters. from gavin's abandonment issues and fear of losing lena and the santoses to a point where he tries to keep them all at arm's length even thought its painful for him, to lena's self-doubt, loneliness and fear that she'll never find her true calling and place in life. great characterization paired with some lighthearted but spicy romance is always a recipe for a good time in my opinion, so i think this novel checks the boxes. 3.25 stars.
