I have loved every book I've read in this new SmartyPants Romance series. Some were by authors I knew, and some were by authors that are new to me. This story was by an author I've read and really enjoyed, and so I was very excited to start this one. And I am happy to say that I was not disappointed at all! As I've mentioned on the others I've read and reviewed so far, I just LOVE getting to touch base with some of my favorite characters in the Penny Reid Universe, and this time it was the Winston brothers! Love the part where Olive calls them the Hemsworth brothers with beards! Our main character Olive was just a really unique but relatable person. Her awkwardness, her really normalness in appearance from how she was described, even to the point where she compares herself to being shaped like an Olive. And then I also liked Jay's issues. They were a little unusual for the small town boy he was, but it was something that is realistic and it was really good to see it as part of a story. You know my thoughts on drama or overreacting by characters, and honestly, the author did a great job with how she handled Olive getting Jay's back story. I feel like it was exactly the way anyone would normally react. Well, people like myself anyway. This was such a fun story that I can't wait to read more in this series. Another highly recommended installment!
