AHHH WOW. I am SO excited for everyone to read this book because it may be my new favorite. The Russian (Vlad) has always been my favorite side character and it made me so happy when I found out he was getting his own story. This book was a marriage of convenience, and childhood best friends thrown in and wow they were done so well. I loved watching them realize true feelings and getting to truly know each other again. Elena was so great and I understood her apprehension towards things in the beginning. I loved seeing bits of the side characters as well as new ones being introduced (speaking it into existence - a book about Colton in the future???) I also really love how this book covers toxic masculinity and really allows the men in the book club to be their true selves because they’re all so supportive and great. anyways, I have this book preordered already and I am anxiously awaiting the release!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley For this EARC in exchange for an honest opinion!
