Those Two Words by Ronnie Mathews

5.0

This book is absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. I just adored it! I’m shocked this is Ronnie’s debut novel, and I’m so so glad she took the leap to publish it.

Set in Maine, this was such a warm and cozy read. Childhood friends to lovers and second chance are two of my favorite tropes and this one had both! These characters felt like old friends and I loved them so much. Jo and Patrick’s relationship was so sweet and I loved all the flashbacks of them from when they were younger. Jo’s mental health journey is also written so well and Ronnie took such care expressing the realities of depression and anxiety. I can’t recommend this one enough! Definitely check this one out!! So excited for the next book in the series!
