Thank you so much to Berkley Publishing, Chloe Liese and NetGalley for this arc. All thoughts are 100% my own.

I really enjoyed this story because it was from the perspective of the youngest Bergman being a hopeless romantic and pining for someone unavailable. We’re so used to MMCs being manly, assertive or gruff and it was so lovely to read about a man who was openly soft. Grumpy x Sunshine is one of my favourite tropes but especially when it’s reversed.

As usual, Chloe did a great job with the Type 1 diabetes rep. I was pleasantly educated about the advancements in technology for people living with T1D. As a character, Tallulah was also very complex. I found myself having empathy for her and all that she was holding in, even though it made her come across as mean sometimes.

The pacing was great and the humour sprinkled throughout was fun. I just wish that we got more information about Virgo’s ADHD. However, I think this was a beautiful end to the Bergman Brothers series.
