i really really enjoyed this book. it didn’t feel like all the rest where things just happily fell into place so easily or not necessarily SO easy but wo any big struggles. while they fell into the fake engagement easily and like no that’s not super realistic i just really fell in love with beau and bailey being so real. like they both just have such real shit going on and healed each other in such a because way it was hard to not just be fully sucked into their relationship. i also felt really connected to bailey and felt like she was really relatable in a lot of ways even tho our stories are very different i just felt really connected to her. i also loved beau and despite how tortured he is he still wanted to protect bailey and the same for bailey for beau. changing the memories at 2:11 was such a selfless thing for her to do. she was exhausted from work and the town in general and still woke up in the middle of the night to try to help keep beau from suffering through his nightmares. i just really loved how both characters needed saving and didn’t really want anyone’s help yet while trying to avoid getting help from people around them by arranging this fake engagement they ended up saving one another
