There was a lot to love about this, but one bone I need to pick.
Bianca.
I just struggled with her for way longer than I wanted. I’m always initially cool with who the character is in the beginning because GROWTH. But oh my gosh, I was just so tired of hearing I don’t want to be a burden on repeat that I lost focus. Zac is the SWEETEST. And I wanted more of them being together vs. them constantly apologizing to each other.
The friends to lovers is overall fine, even if not my favorite in this context. There were a LOT of nicknames. I actually didn’t mind all of them but one (kiddo). The ending is really sweet and I loved getting the little epilogue too. I even liked seeing a different side to Trevor too. There’s plenty of good nuggets in here at least. And the TWO cameos are without a doubt the best part.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 1 open door
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: brief mentions of parental abandonment, cheating recounted, death of a love one recounted
