I really enjoy the book....however - It felt great reading the first half of the book, truly intrigued with the characters; fun, mysterious, sexy AF but then when we got to Ava's past, it felt flat for me like it was just thrown in there. After that with Alex's family drama it was starting to pick up again but of course the ending was drawn out too much and was just okay. I will say that they story did gave me hope and excitement for the side characters. Will definitely continue to read the remaining of the series.

OMG, I loved this so much! Listen to it on audio with full cast, it's perfection.

Thank you NetGalley & Kensington Books for this ARC for my honest review.

This was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nora and Will's journey about overcoming loss, rebuilding yourself and learning to truly embrace new love; yea, gave me all the feels. I couldn't put this one down, definitely a one sit read for me. This story makes you laugh, makes you want to cry and makes you love again.

super cute sweet story.

Wow, I didn't think I would get to invested in this story. I see why people say it's like ACOTAR, The Selections, and The Cruel Prince all mixed into one.

What a mess of lies and betrayals, love triangles, and survival just so Brie can save her sister.

I really enjoyed the world building and the side characters. Im very interest to see what Brie does through out the second book and what decisions she makes...oh man, and the two princes!

This was an absolute swoony feel good romance you are looking for as your summer reads. This slow burn romance tells the the story of Evie Starling, who's life hasn't turned out the way she'd expected at the age of thirty three. Shitty job, no love prospects, her best friends starting a family, and a complicated relationship with her mother.

So what to do when all is going wrong is your life.Evie decides to pack her bags and fly across the pond to a quant small town in England. Here she discovers new friendships, new passions, and hopefully a new light on love.

Of course she soon becomes friends with the gorgeous farmer, Roane, where she avoids any possibility in falling for him. Turning him straight into the friends zone. But Roane is absolutely the perfect book boyfriend and Evie just won't be able to help herself.

I had this one on my list as a must for 2020, made sure to squeeze it in at the very end. All in all, I really enjoyed the story. It had friendship, humor, arrogance, and very very sexy.

I know there were mixed reviews online cause of the premise of the story. Yes, it's set at the beginning of this horrifying pandemic but the story and the characters reacted just as we all reacted at the beginning of all this. It definitely wasn't written in bad taste, point is, its a romance novel like all the others. Honestly I would have loved to be as luck as Sadie to find love during this pandemic.

The story takes place in an apartment building in San Francisco. Sadie is a romance writer and Evan is a football player, hiding in his friend's apartment from a scandal going on that may end his career. The two meet on their balconies and begin to form a bond and strong feelings for one another without ever touching and keeping themselves always six feet apart.

I gave this one a thumbs up! It had everything I was looking for, plus it was definitely a different angle from a story that we've all been experiencing.

Also..that cover though!
