Book 1 in this series was one of my favourite books last year but somehow Madison has outdone herself because I loved this one even more. The banter tips it over into first place. It had me laughing out loud. Amelia's dark sense of humour was hilarious. 

I adored Amelia. She's been through a lot and is constantly on the move to stay alive but she's not really living. It was so beautiful to see her find her place as well as a whole bunch of people who helped her to start enjoying life. The found family is perfect. West is a secret softy with a filthy mouth. We get to see him learn what he wants and stand up for himself in order to get it.  

I loved that they both helped each other see that they deserved more. They didn't push but they made each other feel seen and worthy of love. The tension though, whilst they try to behave and resist each other is next level. As someone who isn't an insta love girly I very much enjoyed the strangers to friends to lovers.

It was also so nice to see all the recurring characters again & see how Wyatt & Rory were doing. Smokey Heights is an incredible lil town. I cannot wait for Lexi's book. 

The perfect balance of banter, spice and romance.
