This was such a lovely, enjoyable, whilst still slightly steamy read. Although it’s a romance book it’s also about self-worth, learning to love yourself, and learning to believe you deserves the best there is out there, and I really enjoyed it!
Kristen Granata has become an autobuy author for me because I always enjoy her books, which whilst often feature quite a hard hitting topic and personal struggles always have a way of making you see hope at the end - and there’s always a happily ever after.
She writes about strong characters which are very present in this book - and I loved that TJ our male lead was the one having to do a lot of the internal fighting and strength finding (makes it a nice change when it’s not always the female lead). 
TJ is 100% the type of guy you want as your friend, and Carla is so badass and strong and bubbly. I loved these characters.
I also loved that a lot of the romance scenes LITERALLY gave me butterflies AND PULLED ON THOSE HEART STRINGS 🥺💛
Quite steamy, with some explicit content but not totally I’d probably rate this uk movie certificate 15.
Plus: THERES AN EPILOGUE. And I’m a hoe for an epilogue.
