Nate is just sooo against love and that everyone will leave him eventually. Essie is seeking her forever after fairytale ending, despite being heartbroken multiple times. Their story really started six years ago with the one kiss they shared, and it affected both of them more than they thought. 

I really ended up enjoying Nate and Essie's story! This is like the true representation of grumpy meets sunshine. And adding on a second chance between them too?! It was magical indeed. 
This story involved alot of cameos from the Toronto Terror books, so it's much better if you read this book after reading those to really get to know the characters! But if not, it is explained in the story who each character is in relation to each other and their friend group. 
I absolutely love this found family dynamic from the Toronto Terrors and the spin offs. 
This book does also allude to the couple for book 5 of Toronto Terror and I'm so excited to see what's to come!

Now for the audiobook, it is a duet narration and I absolutely ate it up. My new favorite way to read is having my book pulled up alongside the audiobook. It is just way more immersive for the story. The audiobook also felt very hot in some scenes but oh so worth it 🙈 I will devour any of Teddy's works tbh. Savannah Peachwood is a new narrator to me and I really enjoyed her as Essie in this book! 

Thank you Helena Hunting for the ARC and Dreamscape Media for the ALC!!
