"Maybe we start thinking differently. Maybe we stop bending to fit. Forcing things. Because something is out there hoping for you. Hoping you’ll arrive exactly as you are."
Tessa Bailey is one of my favorite authors and this book is a good example of why. It's cute, funny and spicy as well. I think I doubled the thickness of this book with tabbies alone. I didn't know what to expect with a RH but I found the characters to be so relatable. We have: Elise who is headstrong and determined to be self dependent. Gabe, who is a big dependable sweetheart. Tobias who is hilarious and adds a much appreciated comic relief to the group. And Banks who, like Elise, acts as an anchor for the group. I was worried that it might get chaotic when I started this book but honestly the character dynamic made sense. They all fit together really well, and we get snippets of their POV as well which only add to the story and help keep the story on track.
Sidenote: I understand that this isn't at all a blueprint but it was a very nice lens to look through. I definitely wasn't against RH when I started reading this but I wasn't familiar either. I wasn't too sure about whether or not I would like it but the story was sweet (and spicy) and left me with the warm and fuzzies.
