First of all I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Breathtaking. That’s it.
What a beautiful, breathtaking story.
I’m not even lying when I say that I DEVOURED this book, in one sitting. 5 hours. Couldn’t put it down.

This is a second chance romance that gives us past and present’s chapters, you’ll find yourself quickly loving the main characters and definitely craving for more. 

Macy and Nate are 100% meant to be, their relationship is so effortless, they fit perfectly. And may I say, what a man.. I would give my heart to him without blinking.

Everything happens in the span of a week. And we keep going back to the past to learn about the story between the main characters, everything they’ve done to be where they are today.

It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

📌 You’ll love this book if you’re looking for an emotional short story, medium-fast paced.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

🚨 Release date: May 9, 2024 

I enjoyed this book so much! I didn’t knew this author before and I’m so happy I do now. Love her writing style.

We’re set in Bristol, United Kingdom. Great start because I love the UK so much (never been there tho 🤣). Okay so.. We have two parents, one divorced and one widowed. The friendship between them felt so effortless, they just fitted so well. They’re so funny I literally couldn’t stop laughing sometimes! The development of their relationship was so sweet and you can also see the personal development of each. I was not a fan of the miscommunication but anyways. 

I really loved both main characters, and those behind too! Joe’s mom is my absolute favorite! And don’t even get me started with the kids! Lila is such a sweet funny little girl. Sophie’s sister is one of the best! I reaaaally need to see how her life and relationship (wink wink 😉) goes!! 

The fake dating was so funny because of the moms! Honestly loved the moms, each one was very different and funny too. It really is a rom-com on full mode 😂 I really wish we had an Epilogue..

It’s mostly fast paced, good fit for readers looking for a lighthearted funny story, you’ll love it! 💖

First of all I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC. 

I’m so happy I got to read this book because how I did not know this author before?? I’m so captivated by her writing style, and this book is 100% meant for you if you like: 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡, 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡, 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚.

Eli is a main character that I would express as WHAT A MAN. He’s so sweet, a man that carries his heart on his sleeve, romantic, protective, and gorgeous. He takes care of his mom and is actually pretty close to her, like living with her type of close. And may I say that Eli’s mother is my absolute favorite? I can actually bet she would be yours too once you read it.

Bailey is a shy independent woman, very sweet too. She’s so used to being on her own and kinda surprises herself when she actually loves to have Eli on her corner, taking so much care of her. 

They are absolutely adorable and meant for each other, like.. they belong together, probably made for each other kind of love (That’s my favorite kind).

And of course, this is a marriage of convenience book.. And hell yeah we have it!! 

📌 A quick read, medium-fast paced; sweet romance, filled with a lot of fun moments and loveable characters. You’ll love it.

💌 P.s: The Appies?? Best. Team. Ever!! Van? The absolute best friend ever.
