Those Two Words
by Ronnie Mathews
Tropes:
-small town
-second chance
-no third act break up
-childhood friends
-mental health rep
-single dad
“For tonight, that’s her side, and damn, does she look perfect there.”
Those Two Words is the debut book for Ronnie and this does not feel like a debut at all! This is Patrick and Johanna (Jo)’s story.
Patrick and Jo were childhood friends and their parents own a restaurant together. Jo finds herself back in town after leaving six years prior. She comes back to help save the restaurant. Patrick finds it hard to accept that she’s back because there are so many things that were left unanswered.
Johanna is a great FMC and the anxiety rep was very relatable. Patrick, being a single dad to a little girl, is caring and tries his best to be a good dad. These two are the definition of second chance, even if the road to get there wasn’t the easiest. The tension and pining were really palpable.
This story is so well done and the main characters had depth and the side characters added nicely to the story. The chemistry and spice were also a nice touch.
Releasing August 22, 2024. I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
