I am literally so sad I’ll never be able to read this book for the first time. I loved it so much.

The story was so unique and I loved how Kate Spencer wove in so many details throughout. Her writing style is *chef’s kiss*! The plot was predictable in parts, but the way Kate wrote around it and added new life into the book was fantastic.

I was giddy. I laughed out loud. I wanted to wrap our main characters in a hug. I was equally as numb during the third act breakup. This book was so sweet and perfectly captures the intimacy of knowing someone completely.

“I could feel the weight of what was unraveling between us, the unspoken acknowledgment that this—this—was something. We were people who shared things, intimate things, deeper than just kissing. All my worries, insecurities, and thoughts of not being good enough, suddenly seemed so pointless now. Because I knew that there was nothing that could compare to this.“

I felt like I was with Hayes and Franny on the rooftop of his building planting vegetables and also in her studio apartment doing the Sunday crossword puzzle together. Just freaking perfect.


My heart is so full and I loved this book so much. I want an epilogue. And then more.

And then some not fade to black scenes because I just know Hayes is as good with his hands as he says. But also he’s such a romantic at his core and I need to see the duality in action. 

Also him admitting to himself that he pictured his hands in her hair when they first met? Yeah. We need the dirty details, pls & thanks.
