Thank you Nellie for an ARC bc I am endlessly in love with these two.
This is, without a doubt, my fav book by Nellie so far. After all the teasing, she fucking DELIVERED.
So to no one's surprise, I was immediately invested! Phoebe sharing her proposal with Dec? Then everything that ensued? AAAHHH! *minor spoiler alert* There may have been a contract involved, some miscommunication that gets addressed, and a very special survey that Dec filled out the most adorably. So yeah, it was a good time. 😏 But fun aside, I loved that this gave them a safe space to overcome their insecurities and explore what they wanted with each other. And the way the first "I love you" came out felt so true to them, tumbling out bc it couldn't be contained any longer. And I loved being with them as they worked through that new phase of their relationship bc where they ended up was PERFECTION.
I do have to scream about Declan for a sec bc he was just a dream! I loved how much he loved Phoebe. How gentle and considerate he was with her. But also just being that friend who encouraged her to speak up for what she wanted. And the growth this inspired in Phoebe! Seeing her set boundaries and demand the recognition she deserved was so satisfying! And Phoebe returning the favor by taking out the trash that was his family? 👏👏👏 Bc *somebody* had to do it and I loved that our sunshiney gal went to bat for our guy.
AND THE B-PLOT Y'ALL! 🫠 Let's just say there's more than one HEA in this book and we get to revisit some past ones too. 😉
CN: open-door romance, past death of a parent, mentions of Vietnam War, difficult parent/child relationship
