One of my absolute favourite tropes is childhood friends to lovers! I mean you can’t tell me it’s not an elite trope, the banter/comardarie of knowing each other for so long, the tension of “does he like me? does she like me?”, the slight misunderstandings and the ultimate fuck it moment after an agonising slow burn!

Save Your Breath had all of that plus a fake engagement between a pop star and NHL! What more could you want!

I did not want this book to end! I could not put it down, while simultaneously making myself stop so I’d have more to read. Was so freaking good! It’s now up there with WYM as my favourites of the series!

I loved Aleks so much! I wasn’t expecting to cry so much but his story broke my heart, the way he thinks and talks about himself 😭 I just wanted to give him a big hug. I loved that Mia was his person, the one he trusted wholeheartedly and would do anything for! They were the perfect match, Mia brought out the happy side of him and he brought out the confident/fierce woman she really is. 

I cannot recommend this book enough! Though please check your triggers as it deals with addiction and the mental struggles around that. 

Also you’ve been wanting a Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce romance then this one you should definitely try, reminded of them in the best way and was so much more!
