Y'all this book was super cute! I loved Wes and Hailey as individuals, then as friends and then as a couple. I loved how they went grocery shopping on Saturday nights. My husband and I did that when we first started dating and it was so much fun. The writing was smooth and easy to read. It was the perfect book to cuddle up with your favorite drink under a fuzzy blanket or at the beach or okay really anywhere and enjoy a wholesome cute romcom. This book made me laugh. Hailey had some awesome witty comebacks. I do NOT have that talent so I was totally jealous. 🤣 She is such a strong woman who wouldn't take help from anyone.  She was going to make her shop a success on her own. You go girl! Did I show my age with that saying? Probably. Oh Well. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Also, this is apparently the third book in the series. However, you can 100% read this as a standalone which gets points from me. I didn't know it was part of a series until the acknowledgments page 🤣


On The Scale of Buy, Bargain, Borrow, Bud or Bust I'm putting this one in the Buy/Bargain category. If you like romcoms and/or friends to lovers definitely buy this one. I know Christmas just ended but Valentine's Day is in ONE month. This would be a great book to add to your Valentine's Day TBR pile.

Read this Book If:

*you like friesnds to lovers

*you like a book with a happy ending

*you want a slow burn wholesome clean romcom
