5.0

My first thought when finishing this book, and many times while reading/listening to it, was “Wow.” My second thought was, “Do men like Bo actually exist?”

I will admit, I was beginning to think my hope for finding a romance book that I’d give 5 stars would never come, but this was it. I LOVE(D) this book and definitely recommend anyone wanting to read it to give it a chance.

I love the slow burn between Winn and Bo. I find myself relating to a lot of Winn’a internal struggles with fear and feeling stagnant and I love that she allows herself to grow and not only make room for Bo and her baby, but also herself. I too am making room for myself to fully flourish into who I want/need to be.

All the characters feel well rounded. I adore Winn’s relationship with Sarah just as much as I do with Winn’s relationship with Bo.

I love how they keep an honest and open communication style with each other, especially early on, talking about sexual health and birth control.

I LOVE how Bo is a good man, down to his core, with no ulterior motives. His kindness and generosity is something I hope to find in a partner myself. 

I was cheering for them from start to finish, aching during their will they won’t they moments. 

All in all this was a wonderful book, one I got from a booktok recs list. I’m not sure if the author has written any more stories but I’d eagerly pick them up if so.
