I finished the second book in the Say Everything series in just a day. I had forgotten how addictive romance novels are! The only common thing in all the series are the female protagonists. Three women who become friends at a shared work space star in each of these books. Fun fact, these titles can be read as a standalone book too. While the first book featured a woman coming to terms with Tourette’s, What if You and Me focuses on characters suffering from PTSD.

Andi is the owner of a true crime podcast where she teaches people how to remain safe in this nasty world. When she moves into a new rental property, she bumps into her neighbour accidentally. Hill Dawson, a retired firefighter has his own demons to fight but he somehow feels protective towards Andi. Hill prefers staying in his own cocoon, after suffering a heartbreak and a life altering physical injury. Andi, although seems bubbly outwardly has a hard time trusting men and so begins the unlikely friendship of these two.

Roni writes wonderfully and from what I’ve noticed, she builds characters who come with either a physical and mental condition or the ones who carry heavy baggage. She shines light on topics that no one seems to talk about. The story is lovely and predictable but you will still find yourself unable to stop reading it. The third book in the series features another friend named Eliza and I can’t wait to read it.

We definitely need more authors who explore such character depths when it comes to romance genre. I highly recommend it. If you like Emily Henry’s novels, I’m quite certain that you’ll love this one too.
