I loved this book so so much, it’s my the first book of Taylor Reed Jenkins that i’ve read and it made me want to read all of her other books ! The only reason why I don’t give it full 5 stars is because I found some of the background characters really unnecessary. I didn’t care about most if not all of them, I didn’t want to know about their stories and how much kids they want or don’t want or who they are going to marry or not marry. I also thought the ending was a little bit… underwhelming? A bit rushed? But besides that everything else was perfect for me, definitely a must read.
