"Before you came into my life, I was frozen by my past. You were like the sun, you freed me with your smiles and chocolate donuts."
I've had my eye on this book for a few months now, because its cute cover (and blurb) TOTALLY caught my attention. Donuts and hate-to-love vibes? AND they have to work together? YESSSSSS!
Some points that NEED to be shared...
1: I already love the bromance
2: Dudeeee I want some donuts
3: Piper holds her own and I approve
4: Ughhhh, Taylor whyyyy??
5: Olivia is so sweet
6: The main office with Asher
7: I’m loving Wes’ personality
8: Chocolate donuts
9: The texts
10: Jealous Asher...
11: “You’re not getting it” 😭
12: The talk (during Wes’ Halloween party)
13: Micahhhhh
14: Grams is so sweet.
15: I love donut puns lolllll
16: The “because I’m all in” speech.
As far as content goes: No language that I can remember. And any suggestive content was veryyy mild. Asher's biological dad left him and his mom, and he was an alcoholic (in the past). Side-characters dealt with cancer. Grief, anger, fear, and stress were some elements that were present in the book. Piper struggled with the aftermath of an accident. Her dad was absent/controlling/unsupportive. None of this was triggering for me, but could be for other readers.
This was a really sweet YA romance that touched on some deeper themes, which definitely pulled on the heartstrings. Piper and Asher had their struggles (individually and with each other) but they really did belong together. And I loved how they helped each other become the best versions of themselves. Oh, and that epilogue was the cutesttttt!! GAH. So good!
Also, all the donut talk makes me want donuts now lol. (When do I not want donuts though??)
Go get yourself a donut, and go read this book! 🍩💗
