•3rd act wobble, no breakup
📌“She was mine for three months and she’s still mine, never mind the weeks of silence. How the hell could I have thought this would fade the moment she wasn’t in my mother’s office every day?”
📌“Of course I missed him; I missed him before I even lost him.”
📌“Dance with me”
“Always, Isabelle.”
The opening line reads, “The High Line at sunset is pretty.” And I just knew I would get along with this book. Because the High Line is indeed beautiful at that time of the day 😜
I had no idea I was going for the fourth book in this series of interconnected standalones. And yet, I have no regrets. I mean, I now need to go read the other three. Need! But I didn’t need them to enjoy Isabelle and Nikolai. To fall so desperately for these two.
This book got me so good. From the swooning romance to all the mental health rep. From the sports goodness — love a good rivalry — to all the side characters. The list of things that made this book absolutely unputdownable is long. Very, very long. And I was here for every single one of them.
Is it bad if I read Cooper’s book next? I know it’s not the first in the series but he might be my favorite 🫶🏼
