This was my first lil toe dip into the darker romance. Starting with a dark romcom seemed like fun. It's not normally something I reach for but I love Evelyn Leigh. Anything she writes I'm picking up and let me tell you I am obsessed with this book. It was so fucking good.

I was in love with Cèsar from the start. He's so caring. He saw Diedre in a way no one else did (figuratively and literally). He knew what she needed and just did it. Mowing their lawn in his hoochie daddy shorts *chefs kiss*. It also helps that he's so damn funny. 

I love Diedre and the PCOS plucking your beard and still being stunning representation. She may be softer than the rest of her family, but she proves to everyone, including herself, that she is not weak.
