The Wrong Brother by Maren Jenner

4.0

"Even when we were enemies, he looked out for me." - Leah

“I will never take your panic personally, Lee. I want to be with you every step of the way. Because one day, all of this will be nothing more than a memory and you’ll be whole again.” - Shawn

Shawn has always protected and paid attention to Leah, even when she didn't see it herself. For example he remembers her favorite candy from years ago and gives it to her, to show that he cares. He is just really thoughtful and respectful of her personal space and boundaries. They are both interested in each other but they took their time, they became friends and then slowly it became more, I really loved that they worked on their connection first. The romance wasn't rushed, just what they both needed.

I really love the timing of this book. Leah's been through a lot and Shawn didn't want to trigger her, he does little things for her and she takes care of him and his brothers. Leah and Sebastian are so much better as friends! I'm so excited to read Sebastian’s book. This is a really fun and loving family, they are all very close and their is no jealousy, they are just a big family that wants to help each other! That in itself is very healthy and refreshing to read. They could have treated each other better at times but their was also character development and conversations about their behaviors and feelings.
