There is amazing chemistry and then there is compatibility. I have often written reviews discussing the amazing chemistry between two characters but this is one of the first times where the compatibility of our two love interests really shines more than the former.
Isabelle and Audrey play off each other as characters so well. Not just sexually or through banter but emotionally as well. Seeing them grow to get to know one another and become that missing piece that they needed for themselves was so well down and incredibly beautiful and I was left rooting for them so hard at the end because I could see that these two were fighting for each other.
I enjoyed the pacing and progression of their relationship it felt real and honest, and the conflict they faced felt like it helped grow the characters more and not simply to induce more drama and action into the story and I really enjoyed it.
The only part of this book that aggravated me was Mark and everything surrounding him. E.J.Noyes doesn't paint him as a good friend or partner at all in the beginning, so as we watched the conflict between him and Isabelle it was incredibly difficult to understand their friendship ever being able to recover from that because no foundation was ever built. He fell very short as a character and did not feel substantial enough for me to be able to suspend my belief in the way everything played out in the end.
I wanted Isabelle to realize how much he wasn't a true friend and see her get over her fear of
abandonment by understanding that it's okay to let go of people who you had a history with if they are not truly treating you with respect or care, and have her realize that some people are worth fighting for and some people are not, but that epiphany just never happens and that feels like wasted potential.
Overall though this was one of the best romances I have ever read 4.75 ⭐️ and I can't wait to continue with the rest of E.J.Noye's books.
