This was adorable. It is a closed door romance so it was a perfect airplane read. Thanks goodness I was wearing a mask so I could just smile and giggle (and cry) and nobody was any the wiser. Somehow this was simultaneously a rock star romance and a mountain man romance. 🤷🏻♀️ I can’t explain. You will just have to see for yourself!
FMC Sloan and MMC Jason are super cute together. And Tucker is the best good boy and the ultimate matchmaker. 🐶 The sigh-worthy moments are few and far between but there are a few sprinkled throughout and there are definitely moments to smile and kick your feet. 💖💖💖
Sloan’s grief and the highs and lows of their relationship add emotional complexity to an otherwise extremely lighthearted romcom.
Diversity is kind of tough to evaluate. Other than Sloan having a tan, nobody’s skin is described and descriptions of hair etc are kind of ambiguous. There does seem to be a butch female character (Zane) but otherwise everything is pretty normative. Apparently this was the first book Jimenez ever wrote so I don’t know if this holds true in her more recent work.
Overall, it was a super cute read that I read in one sitting (on an airplane 😂) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 💖💖💖
