I love this book. I love this town. I love this series. It is so fun and soapy and filled with drama which I am obsessed with. Love a small town? This is for you!
Halle and Quinton are super fun and their "meet cute" is non-traditional. Quinton is the father of Halle's daughter, the product of the sperm that Quinton gave 13 years prior. WHAT A WILD PREMISE. And gives so much fruit for conflict: trying to make their "family" work, Halle having to let go of the reins a bit, Shania finding new family and the impact on her relationship with her mom, Quinton trying to fit into what they have going. While also falling in love with Halle. Add in a small town and some football and you've got a JUICY BOOK. Also I love how Synithia is writing characters over 30 - like this 35+ age is really vibing with me: characters with real jobs and real bills and real struggles. It's so fun and this book is perfect.
I just love Imani and Halle and cannot wait for book three because you know it is gonna be spicy with Brian and what's her name (I am terrible with names lol).
