I am not much of a contemporary romance reader but this book may change that!! Stefanie Steck developed two immensely likable characters, Madeline and Milo, who you could root for the whole time.

Madeline and Milo went on a date 12 years ago where they connected with a strong spark until... their terrible first kiss ruined the night. But they grew into strong friends over the years, becoming each other's biggest supports.

The timing begins to feel right to try again. But as barriers begin to pop up with Milo's daughter and a growing custody battle, they have to figure out if this is the "right moment."

Friends to lovers is my favorite romance trope and Stefanie NAILED IT. All of the characters, even side characters, were so lovable and real. There are so many sweet, make-you-smile moments.

This is truly a feel good read. I breezed through it so quickly because it was easy to keep turning the pages! I'm sad that it's over but the ending was perfectly satisfying and wholesome.

Thank you so much to the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
