This was such a sweet cute read. This is a second chance romance which personally isn’t my favorite to read but I was hooked in right away and eager to see how the characters would react to being in close proximity again. This story will be enjoyable for people who like a feel good rom-com. It’s pretty low on angst but has some sweet tender moments. The story progressed fast and I found myself enjoying all the characters. I wish maybe we got a little more background or flashbacks to the couple’s “break up” just to get a fuller picture. The spice in the story was also well done and the scenes fit in perfectly. My biggest intrigue though was the side characters and I am SUPER interested in their story 👀. I just know their book is going to be right up my alley!

Thank you to Riley for giving me the opportunity to review your debut novel! It’s been awesome seeing your journey through social media! Congrats 🫶
