The book name might be 'It's Complicated' but my love for it sure isn't.
Camilla has a way of making me fall in love and also fall out of my bed laughing with her characters and I LOVE that! I flew through this book and when I finished it I was just wishing it to go on forever so I didn't need to say goodbye.
This book was heart wrenching beautiful and Jace and Lori's love is so sweet I could cry (I did cry in fact). While I'm most definitely NOT the one to read, let alone enjoy, the love triangle trope, this will forever be the one exception to that. 3 best friends. 2 secret crushes. A pact. A fake dating trope to the mix. And of course, we can't forget about Lori's 4 cats and 6 chickens.
I honestly can't explain how much I loved this book. You have to read it to understand it. Trust me.
The dual POV is everything to me because seeing the way Jace was pining after Lori made MY heart beat faster. He was so far gone I had to hold my breath while rooting for them because I could not wait to see them together. About Lori, well, she's a dummy for "ignoring" that man for so long. I sort of understand it tho. She had a crush while younger and held on to it blindly - I think we've all been through it at some point in our lives (it just didn't last for that long).
From the get go I knew Lori and Jace were made for each other tho. She may not have realized it, but I did. Since they met that he was her safe space. He was her person. He was the one she turned to for everything. Seeing her finally realize her feelings was beautiful. And seeing them together was even better. 🥹🫶🏻
If you need a cute little silly beautiful rom com - this is the one for you. But be warned - you're going to fall helplessly in love with Jace.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Boldwood works for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. 🩷
