There is something special about the stories that Holly June Smith writes. She has a knack for dialing in on the right emotional beats at the exact right time, to give the reader the ability to stay in the moment with the characters. I adored Megan and Ollie. 🥹 Their banter, their drive, their emotional intelligence - everything was there, along with a very real ticking clock and the ensuing chaos that comes from a romance with a time limit. And look: the face mask. 🤣🤣 That's all I'm gonna say about that. And I also love an MMC who has a legit - ahem - appendage, and takes care of their partner in a believable way. I have loved the entire Sunshine Book Club trilogy, but this one might be my favorite. 😍
