NOT MY FAVORITE.

I kept wanting to love this book and then I kept struggling with the FMC. My biggest hold up is this idea that a woman can’t handle being in a relationship (that she wants to be in) AND have the career she want too. So when the inevitable third act breakup happens I get cranky. Are you truly not able to balance both things? It’s okay to be in love!

Cord was a golden retriever gem though. I loved his unwavering support and the fact that he was just gone for Pearl from the get go. I thought the flashback chapters did enhance the story and we got to see this fated side of their romance. Though I could have done without the benefits vibe for most of the book.

It’s a very quick read, there’s some good themes (and as mentioned, frustrating ones). Not my favorite book by this author, but I am hopeful about the next!

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 3-4 open door
- Trigger/Content Warnings: brief mentions of pregnancy
