•Miles Nowak

✦Fav Quotes✦

You can’t untell someone your secrets. You can’t unsay those delicate truths once you learn you can’t trust the person you handed them to.

“Sometimes complaining about stuff, just having someone to empathize with you, takes the sting out of it.”

 

✦Thoughts✦

So torn between a 3.5 or 4 star rating because I really did enjoy this one a lot, but also I needed a little something more out of it. I loved the characters and in general thought this was so cute, funny, and heartwarming. I thought Daphne was very relatable and Miles was a pgom. The one thing I really didn’t like was the lack of communication towards the end and how quickly it got wrapped up. But I absolutely loved the premise of this book and I really enjoyed it! I loved all the side characters minus Peter & Petra… those two are the worssssst lol.

✦Thoughts✦
Oh my god. The word obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover how I felt about this book. This was f’ing iconic and hilarious and just absolutely legendary in my opinion. 

Lark and Lachlan are absolutely hilarious on their own and together. The way I am obsessed with Lark…she’s is hands down one of my fav FMCs. She’s iconic. She’s a legend. She’s a queen. 

I love the friendship between Lark & Sloane and the banter between the Kane brothers. The Ethel of it all, another queen I am obsessed with!

The smut of it all.
Oh my god. You simply aren’t ready for it my friends… I was dyingggggg. It’s going to make you feral.

This one took me a minute to get into, but once I got into it ya girl was invested. I couldn’t put it down. I was loving the chemistry and banter…all the innuendos had me cackling. Sage’s relationship with her brothers was so funny and incredibly sweet. The small town of it all, the town hall meeting was immediately giving me Gilmore Girls vibes. I was dying for Sage & Fisher to finally come together, and then that ending… all the feels.

✦Thoughts✦

This series is exactly what I needed in my life!

I’m am absolutely loving everything about it.

I couldn’t put this one down for one minute!

Oli is a queen I am utterly obsessed! I am living for her and all of her men. She is absolutely hilarious, so sassy, and  a total bad b**ch.

Love the friendship group with Sage, Sawyer, & Felix. That twist in the end with Sage… did not see that coming!

I was very pleased with what happened regarding bonding IYKYK🤭

At this time my fav men are Gabe & Gryphon. Atlas is a little too perfect and I’m watching him 👀. North and Nox are so grumpy and mean and I just know I’m going to be down bad for  them by the end of this series
