Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

My first time reading Ginny Moore, and I loved it! It’s a rake-wallflower setup, with a dash of friends-to-lovers (although let’s be real, there have been FEELINGS all along). Both the characters lack confidence - Ellie because of her horrendous  marriage and her curves, Henry because of his learning disabilities and bouts of depression - but they have a really special connection. The miscommunication and misunderstandings lasted a bit too long for my liking, but that’s my only quibble. I’ll definitely read more from this author!
