Thank you to Harper Perennial for the e-arc of this book! I totally forgot how much i love a black cat fmc x golden retriever mmc and I am so grateful to Georgia Stone for reminding me. Finn was magnetic, pulling me in from the e-ink display and making me giggle and blush. Ava was such a strong heroine, determined to protect herself from being hurt — which is something so deeply relatable. I also felt for Ava because I have a twin brother too and it ripped my heart out to hear about what happened in the past. Her love for her brother resonated with me to my core. The side characters, especially Josie (my QUEEN), were so funny and added to the story and the characters’ journeys. Their support for the two leads made me smile, as did all their teasing. SUCH. a solid romance book. 4.25 🌟
