Thank you to Cora Dalley herself for an ARC of her wonderful debut!!
I was instantly immersed in the story as soon as I started reading; I didn't want to put it down!! Already the plot had me intrigued from the blurb and when I read the story, I found it was just as fun and full of heart as I hoped it'd be!!
The characters all had their own lovable personalities and were easy to connect to (I'll admit that I, too, have avoided someone I had a crush on [and events they would be present at] due to some strong feelings, heh).
Frannie, Nisha, and George were such a wonderful group of siblings and along with their loving parents, it made me wish I were also part of their family too (just like Hydie)!
Hydie, despite all she's been through, was always so kind and optimistic and I absolutely loved that about her! I also loved reading about her vulnerability and growth as a character.
George so easily makes the Book Boyfriend List because he was so sweet and kind and I loved reading the flashbacks of how he was with Frannie and Hydie when they were all younger!
Overall this was a wonderful debut romcom and I will happily read anything Cora Dalley writes!! I can't wait to see her blossom even more as a writer and see the world experience and love her stories as much as I do!!
