The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward
5.0

Felicity is back home for the summer and she has some new neighbors, Leo and Sig, who she met in a rather hilarious way. She becomes friends with them and grew especially close to Leo.

There is an instant attraction between Felicity and Leo, however, he is leaving at the end of the summer and they know whatever they have can’t go anywhere. However, what is between them in undeniable and they take things moment by moment. Their story is full of ups and downs, love and heartbreak. Their story isn’t a quick one, it is a slow burn and spans five years.

This story was unexpected. I wasn’t expecting how emotional it would be. Seriously, you’ll want some tissues close by because they will be needed while reading. I’m pretty sure I spent the last 30% just in tears.

I may be in the minority in this but I loved Sig from the beginning and even more so at the end. Plus, he added some witty comments throughout the story which I loved.

If you’re looking for an emotional, slow burn, opposites attract book this is one to read!
