This wasn't what I was expecting out of this book at all. And I mean that in a bad way. It was too dramatic. These characters were so annoying. They were commitment-phobes and it bothered me. The entirety of the book was them going on and on about how scared they were of relationships and how their past was too traumatic to even try to be in a relationship. It was irritating. And I wanted to scream at them to go to therapy and work on their issues instead of making it other people's problems. I just didn't enjoy this book at all and spent most of it wanting it to be over. I do not recommend this book at all. 

Oh my goodness. I love this book. I was absolutely hooked from page one. This was fantastically done. The whole plot was so intriguing. The romance was a slow burn but it was so so worth it when the couple got together. This was slow burn done right. I stayed up till 4 am to finish this book. That's how good it was. I want to erase this book from my memory so I can read it for the first time again. Ugh. Seriously so good.

Thank you so much to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC! 

First of all, look at that cover. Oh my, is it beautiful. 

Wow, I love this book. This is sports romance done right. I loved the tension. I loved that Chris fell in love with Daphne twice. It was the cutest thing to watch. I just loved this so much. 

I also very much loved the discussions about mental health. It was done with so much respect and love and it really resonated with me. So thank you to the author for that. 

Another thing I loved were the side characters. They were all so supportive and fun people. I loved reading about them, too. 

Overall, this book was such a joy to read and I neeeeeeed to own a copy.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a wild ride. I loved the suspense, the mystery, the story within a story. It all flowed together so nicely to create something truly terrifying. The horror was understated. It lurked beneath the surface. It was so fun waiting for the other show to drop. And when it did...oh boy. It was amazing. I so enjoyed this book and will be reading more of Tremblay's work in the future.

Okay, I did like this book. I liked the realistic struggles Neil and Rowan faced. I greatly appreciated the discussions about mental illness, depression specifically. I myself have depression and I felt Neil's struggle with it was realistic and well written. Rowan's imposter syndrome also felt all too real. I understood these characters deeply. I just really got them. The romance was so sweet. I absolutely loved how both of them never gave up on the other or on the relationship even when it was really hard. It was so inspiring to see. I will be completely honest though, I had a hard time getting through this one. Not because it was bad, but because of how long it was. I felt that the length was unnecessary. It kind of dragged on a little bit. I also felt like the book itself was maybe not needed. I did enjoy the book, but I did not think after reading the first book that I wanted or needed a sequel. 

Overall, I enjoyed it, but I do not think we need a third book. Leave it at two. 

couldn't finish, will get back to it later

The cover of this book was what drew me in at first. Then the title. Then the book itself. I was so intrigued from page one. What a brilliant mystery. I loved the way this was written. The multiple POVs really made this book. I loved the twist. I loved how it was revealed. Just, wow. I love a good thriller and this absolutely lived up to my expectations. 

got bored :/

This book was so much fun. I loved it so much. I have such a soft spot for cowboy romance and this one lived up to my expectations. I saw a lot of myself in Pip and Junebug. They both made me laugh so much. The whole McBride family is so kind and funny and I had the time of my life reading about them. My type of man are the golden retriever types, not the black cat, and Morgan was absolutely a black cat. That being said, I had a hard time liking him and his bull-headed ways. But as the book went on, I understood him a lot better and even started to root for him. I'm glad he wasn't a fool and actually married Pip in the end cause I swear, I was not having his stubbornness throughout the book. But he learned to be better, as did Pip and in my head, they live happily ever after, after having about eight kids, of course.
