I fell in love with Crane Cove and the Brunch Bros in Keyed Up, and I fell even more in love with everyone and everything about these books even more in So Flocked. Jordy and Annie are seriously goals. I love them to the ends of the Earth. This book might be my new favorite comfort read, and is easily in my top 5 for the year.
Jordy is facing the end of his football career, and possibly not on his terms. That alone is frustrating and anxiety-inducing, on top of the bigger conundrum he finds himself asking, "Who am I without football?" A few weeks away from LA to go visit Graham and Eloise before their big day will keep him out of trouble, right?
Annie finally has her ornithology PhD, but the job opportunities aren't exactly pouring in, and the boyfriend of almost 10 years didn't quite pan out and now she's feeling a bit adrift. Surely a few weeks at the lighthouse Eloise and Graham bought to expand the Crane Hotel's offerings and help Eloise with last minute wedding details will help her recenter and get back out there, right?
The meet-disaster Sarah promised was everything I wanted it to be and more. I was laughing out loud at the attempted subtle shenanigans Annie and Jordy get up to, swooning at every turn as Jordy soars to the top of my favorite book boyfriends list, and loving seeing Annie grow into the confident badass we all knew she was! And the teases for Sam's book and I'm EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR PETER'S STORY!!! I just want to move to Crane Cove, like, tomorrow. Is that too much to ask??
