⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young

POV: dual, 1st person, present tense
Tropes: bad first impression, sex lessons, virgin, “good girl”
My Thoughts:
This one is definitely a tearjerker! Between the mom with Alzheimer’s, his family history, and the overall tenderness, you can expect to shed a few tears.
However, there were plenty of fun and steamy moments to balance it out! I loved having a more experienced MMC giving lessons to the FMC (although we did lean pretty hard into the slutty bisexual stereotype at the beginning). These two had insane chemistry, in both their banter and in the bedroom.
I tend to prefer romances with more external conflict, and this one was definitely internal. Even by small town standards, these two were very much in their family-only bubble. I loved all of the side characters, but would have loved to see a bit more of the town. I’m hoping we get that in the second book in the series!!
Memorable Quote: “So yes, Milo and I are in love. And, no, we’ll probably never admit it to each other. But how wonderful and tragic and lucky is that?”
Thank you to the publisher for my advance copy!
