*MILD SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW*
Okay i LOVED this book. Viggo is my soul character. His adhd moments spoke to me in a way that no other character has ever done. Swapping between hobbies like crazy, starting different endeavors so often you feel like your accomplishments won’t mean as much to family because they might think it’s just a hobby instead of something you’re actually serious about. All his moments where he was nervous and just rambled and overshared and was nervous about being seen as “too much” was terrifyingly relatable, I’ve never felt so seen.
I know I keep talking about viggo, but a chronically single romance book lover with adhd is literally how my mother describes me to her friends.
The romance was impeccably done, watching Tallulah grow into someone who was afraid of love to someone go shows it so willingly and Viggo go from someone who realizes that finding and falling in love isn’t necessarily a lightening bolt moment but made up of little moments was such a privilege.
The mini Bergman sister’s summit was such a sweet moment, and watching Viggo finally get his Bergman Brothers Summit was something I’ve been looking forward to for so many books now, I’m so glad it finally happened.
Definitely my favorite of the series!!
The only reason it’s 4.5 stars and not 5 is because I feel like so much of the personal growth tallulah went through was done behind the scenes. There were time jumps of a week or more where she “had gone through so much growth” but i was just straight up told about it and not SHOWN if that makes sense?? But genuinely, this is such a phenomenal story and I am already recommending it to everyone who will listen so they can read it when it comes out.
