Thank you for the arc!

This is one of my favorite contemporary romances this year! An unexpected Pride & Prejudice retelling and an absolute must-read if you love healthy communication, witty banter, positive body & mental health rep, and the he fell first (and he fell hardest😂) trope. 

Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

*Thank you for the arc*

I couldn't put this book down! It pulls you in from the first sentence and holds your attention until the very last word. 

A definite must-read for anyone who loves stories about fated-mates, destiny, & powerful women.
