If you love your romance to come with a side of angst, then this is the book for you. Also the book for you if you enjoy crying. It will make you feel all of the emotions, and I loved every second of it. This is such an incredible debut

I fell in love with Asher & Halle pretty quickly. The dual POV in both the present day & flashbacks helps you understand what they've been through and why they are who they are. The portrayal of anxiety and panic attacks was done really well. It was so beautiful to watch Halle feel safe and grow.

The healing of the relationship between Halle and Hunter was emotional. The balance between the romance and family was done perfectly. It was so heartbreaking to learn about why they had been split up.

The 3rd act conflict brings some drama and definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but I couldn't put it down until I finished. Asher & Hunter's bromance is cute.

The found family is perfect and there are so many lovable characters. The girls taking in Halle as one of their own and helping her have fun whilst feeling safe melted my heart. The banter is excellent and Connor is hilarious.

Sunlit Cove sounds like a magical place and I can't wait to return. This book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger relating to another character and I need their book asap.
