She'll Steal Your Heart by Rachel Lacey
5.0
OH MY GOD! I absolutely love this entire series and She’ll Steal Your Heart could not have been a more perfect ending! This is officially one of my all time favorite series and is one that I see myself rereading in the future (probably more than once). I loved every book in this series but She’ll Steal Your Heart might possibly be my favorite (it’s a close call between this one and Don’t Cry For Me). It was a second chance story, but not in terms of romance. Both main characters, Lauren Booker and Mia Solano, are trying to get a fresh start in life and in many ways start over - but for very different reasons.
Lauren is trying to make amends for her past mistakes and take responsibility for them after having been on the run for a year, while also dealing with the recent death of her brother. Mia recently got divorced and went from being a powerful attorney to a cat cafe owner. I related a lot with Mia’s character and the overwhelming existential crisis that comes from multiple life changes happening all at once.
Mia and Lauren are in a group of online friends that met because of Lauren’s sapphic fanfic for In Her Defense (from book 3, Come Away with Me), finally meeting in person to celebrate the new season. When Mia discovers Lauren’s secret about her past, she decides to help her-both legally and with a job.
Their friendship is so pure and endearing and just warms your heart. Mia worries that she’s too old. Lauren worries that her life is too much of a mess. They both worry about ruining the friendship thinking they must be the only one having these feelings. But as their friendship continues to grow, those feelings get harder to ignore. Their relationship is both sweet and sexy and I adore them. They truly are perfect for each other.
And the ending! I won’t share spoilers, but OMG! So many surprises, so much love, all the feels!
