This is my first Nikki Payne read and it definitely will not be my last. The book was so clever and there were a few spots that had me actually laughing out loud (which I honestly do not do often with bookS). Also: the angst, the tension, the banter, the growth??? So good.
I loved our main characters, Nora and Bear, but I also adored the side ones-- especially Yanne and Brandon. The growth of all them was so well written and believable. Nora and Bear have great banter, but Brandon and Yanne, Brandon and Bear, Brandon and Nora (holy shit is Brandon my favorite character somehow???), Nora and Yanne all have great chat and it made this book so fun to read. I was truly invested in every character.
There were some confusing time jumps, and I wish some things were made more clear, but overall a super enjoyable read.
Thank you to Berkley for this ARC!
