I love this author’s novellas so much. They’re just.. punchy. They feel unputdownable because the pacing is so good. These characters were likable and it zipped along.

Childhood friends to lovers. She was a hellion, he was a rakish grump. She chased him. It was fun!

I actually credit this book, which I read in one sitting on August 1st, with how great of a reading month August ended up being. So, major win.

Though, I don’t think I love that ‘next generation’ feeling as much as other people do. Both the MC’s parents were OG couples in this series (my two favourite couples as well) and I thought the parents were in this book too much. I know I’m so in the minority here. Rationally, I understand wanting to see your old favs as side characters but idk. It makes me feel too conscious that I’m reading a book, if that makes any sense.
