Dual POV. Love while there is a romance plot line there is so much more going on. Fans of Beach Read and Augustus Everett, I definitely recommend! Tiffy has a lot to work through after her breakup. Leon’s is trying to help his brother, both have jobs, Tiffy’s friend’s are there to support her. It might feel a little slow in the beginning but I feel totally worth it.

(I was also nervous cause I hate love triangles and Leon has a girlfriend in the beginning but they are to much of it never got close to bothering me because that’s all before Tiffy

)  I just love romance books that feel real. It’s not a movie perfect life, but you could see it being someone’s real life somewhere.
