In such a happenstance last year, the Instagram Algorithm recommended the book I've wanted to read since I was young. It has all the tropes and plot points I wished to read. Also, it was written by a new indie author, which is a plus point since I've wanted to support more romance indie authors. As you can guess, I decided to pre-order the book, which ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made. It not only has pre-order incentives (Which I am excitedly and patiently waiting to arrive), but it also has the sweetest and cozy story ever.

Maya is a steel, and I can't imagine experiencing what she had and bouncing back as strongly as ever. I love how the shortcomings of her life never hindered her from getting what she wanted. The monsters that plague her head and how she deals with it are very understandable. It happens in real life. I get how scared one can be after having the epiphany that we can lose the person we love anytime. She really is a well-written FMC.

Aaron Willow is, for sure, the best husband. He has a way with words and actions. Aaron is the true embodiment of 'actions speak louder with words.' His views and how he treats Maya alone make him so perfect. Aaron didn't need to do the things he did, but he did it either way because he wanted to. That's something some guys need to learn because Aaron has got to be the blueprint.

Aaron and Maya's story is such a fever dream. A quantum entanglement that will stay forever was created from the moment they met. I was teary-eyed towards the end of the book, and I felt deeply for them. I can't wait to see more of them in the other Willows' books.

Esther Valors is undoubtedly an author I will keep track of. She has impressed me with her debut. The book has some copywriting mistakes, which is understandable for an independently published book. Either way, I am now one of her focused viewers.

Apparently, Cassie and the pop star's story is next, and I'm giddy about it. However, I was deeply invested in Carlo and Selena's story from the bits we got from the book. Carlo is such a quiet character, so its mysteriousness makes me stoked. What has transpired, and what will happen? I guess it'll take time for us to know.

If I were to dedicate a single song to the book, it would be Mine by Taylor Swift.
