Head Over Heels is the second book in Cassidy Langue's Delmont series and while it could be read as a standalone I wouldn't recommend it here. This one focuses on Josie, who's been in unrequited love with her BFF (Mel from the first book) for years, and Florence, who runs Delmont Hospital. The two are both looking for companionship, and when Josie finds Florence's profile on a dating app they decide to meet up, and the two have instant chemistry.

The story is a mix of fake dating, insta-love (but weirdly slow burn at the same time), with a bit of an age gap, and there's a heavy dose of family mystery/intrigue. There is spice, although less than the previous book and it starts further into the story. I wasn't super impressed by the part of the plot connected with the fake dating, which was a shame because I love a good fake dating story, but the family mystery was interesting if a bit predictable at times.

Head Over Heels was more enjoyable to me than Cast Aside was. I think the plot is better, the characters are stronger and don't have the immaturity I felt in the first book, and the story was just more interesting overall. I definitely plan to continue with the series, assuming (and it's a pretty good assumption) that there will be more.

I received a free ARC from BookSirens, but my review is unbiased and left voluntarily.
