LOVED IT!! Totally the hype worth. 

I definitely knew from the get go that Joshua loved her since the day he first layed eyes on her. 
I loved the writing style, I honestly wanted to know how it was gonna play out. I wasn't blindsided by anything other than Lucy's rabid lioness outburst post wedding - I did not see that coming, which made me love that moment so much! 

But, I gotta be honest, about halfway through, I was standing on a 4* rating. The thing that put me off was the feeling that Lucy only wanted Joshua for his body. Which embarrassingly reminded me of myself when I just met my husband...

This whole book has bits & pieces of me & my husband in it & I could relate to it on such a deep level. Which is probably why I'm giving it a 5* rating, so many memories & feelings came back & I absolutely enjoyed the ride.

When I reached chapter 25 I was like: about damn time! Finally! But, in all honesty, I'm so glad Josh made Lucy his Easter Egg! 

Can I just say 2 words. Joshua Templeman! 😍
