5 'mrrrp' 🌟
I've never given 5 stars to three consecutive books by an author before but at this point it doesn't really surprise me. I'm utterly in love with Roxie Noir's writing. I'm convinced that she can do no wrong. Her books deliver precisely what I love about romance-the easy conversations, stories that go beyond tropes and characters who have depth and authenticity.
Gideon and Andi are former best friends who were inseparable as children but an incident broke them apart until they meet again twenty years later. It's a brave decision to make any of the leads a flawed person, but more so when the other lead had to suffer because of that. It's handled very skillfully and there's no denying that these two belong with each other.
As always, there are plenty of hilarious moments and I had a great time throughout. The first half with them snowed in a cabin is definitely the most enjoyable part of the story, but I loved how their relationship transitioned to the real world. I'm a sucker for found family and becoming the best version of yourself, and this one had it all. And if you love a mostly-self absorbed, sparingly-loving gigantic cat, then this book truly has it all.
