I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! I just want to hug it and protect it, while also throw it at people's faces and tell them to read it, because it is so breath-takingly beautiful!

“If I’m kissing you, you’ll be the only woman I’m kissing. If I’m taking you on a date, you’ll be the only one. If what you need is casual, I can do casual. Just know I won’t be doing casual with anybody else.”

When I say you guys need to meet Jake, I mean go get The Least Amount of Awful asap!

The banter is *chef’s kiss*, the tension is delicious, the back and forth will have you grinning!

If that wasn’t enough, this book was heart-warming and so emotional. The romance was spectacular! But I also just adored the family dynamics happening in this book. And the angst!!! Ugh, my heart.

This gave me all the vibes from The Simple Wild and the main character reminded me of Zahra from The Fine Print. So if you liked those two books, get your hands on this one!

Jennifer is an author that has made it into my list of need-to-read-their-entire-backlist. I look forward to diving into her books!
