Once Upon You and Me is a quick, charming read that swept me up with its sweet romance and whimsical premise. Our two MMC's, Ethan & Taylor, just make sense together and watching their bond grow was adorable. There’s a softness and sincerity to their dynamic that made me root for them from the very beginning. 

That said, I do wish the story gave us more in the way of a big emotional payoff. The pacing toward the end felt rushed, and I kept waiting for that sweeping, heartfelt moment where they’d declare their love for each other but, I don’t think we ever officially heard them say “I love you,” which left me feeling a little unsatisfied. I wanted that moment. 

Still, if you're looking for a sweet escape with small town vibes and lovable characters, Once Upon You and Me is a fun read.
