Finally getting round to writing my review! 

I really liked Wells and Josephine‘s characters. It was kind of grumpy sunshine but she had a bit of sass too.

I don’t know why it took me so long to write this review because I really destroyed the book. I think it was a day or two days. I read it and it was something like that. It was quick even though it’s beastie. I was just able to absolutely chew through it.!!

I really liked how relatable to golf scenes were I don’t know a lot about golf but I know enough to know that she’d actually done her homework which is really nice because sometimes that extra effort from the author just makes all the difference. While we’re talking about it, the diabetes angle as well such a clever idea she really advocated for them without making them feel like they were a problem. And it gave us like an awareness and an insight into the strength they have day to day.

There were soooo many funny bits I mean the golf cart and the toes?! Haha I was kind of bummed that his signature colour wasn’t on the cover once I learnt about it!

I liked Josephine‘s parents. I thought they were so funny. We obviously didn’t get anything about Wells parents but that was explained and it was interesting how they were both only children.

I really liked the trust element running throughout the book as well I mean, obviously the book has spice in it. It’s author is known for spice books but it didn’t overpower the story.

I would say it was a fast paced read I don’t know if that’s because I read it fast or if the timeline was really quick I like the epilogue afterwards though that was sweet. Interestingly enough the epilogue didn’t have anything to lead onto the next book, at the end of the actual book there was But there was no hints in the epilogue which is making me wonder (which is probably the point)

overall, I really really love this book and I’m very excited to start book 2 but because it’s nearly Christmas and I have to do a December wrap up and a year wrap up. I’m not sure whether to read it now or to try and wait till the New Year to start off with a good read!
