This book was so beautiful and cracked my heart right open. I sobbed at multiple points throughout this book. This book is such a wonderful story of chosen family, facing your fears and living with no regrets. I can’t even really fathom how much I loved this breathtaking book. Also the descriptions of landscapes and different food just added to how well done this truly was.

This was a fun story with some of my favorite tropes: second chance, first love and best friend’s brother. I enjoyed the plot a lot and I always love how this author has two perspectives. I think I had wished for a little bit more time for the main character to do some self reflection because I liked that angle of the story, but besides that this was a fun read that I enjoyed.

I absolutely adored this story! The tropes of this one was so fun. I always love enemies to lovers and second chance. I definitely enjoyed the premise as well because I love a good movie romance story. This one also really dug into how we can let other people’s views shape how we see ourselves and how dangerous that can be. I really really loved this one. This is my first by this author and I’m excited to read more!
