Review

You have enemies to lovers in a key cutest way possible that just uses nostalgia in the best way possible.

While it does deal with a heavy topic of parent death, which is a very heavy trigger for many readers, I think it’s handled in such a great way that it’s more of a healing book about recovering from that versus what that grief looks like and the tension between the two main characters overpower that and so it allows you to kind of heal with the book and I really appreciated that about this one.

The banter and the dialogue had me in complete stitches. These characters are so well developed, and I loved every page of this book. It was such a magical read.

The covers also just so adorable. I am the sucker for colorful covers, but especially when there’s pink and there’s flowers I get really excited so I’m really happy that the cover met expectations.

Thank you so much for this ARC! This was such a treat. I appreciate the opportunity to leave honest feedback voluntarily.
