It's been two or three years since I first read this book, I always knew I loved Tristan but I couldn't remember much about the book. Now I've fallen for him all over again, he's freaking perfect! Where can I find a RL Tristan?
This book is beautiful, I love how Claire and Tristan went from kinda enemies to ONS to friends with benefits to lovers. They pretty much covered every trope I love.
I love Tristan and Claire together and their story, I also love their beautiful family. At the beginning Claire's kids can be a handful but I love everything about them, their personalities and the scars they have from having to grief their father at such a young age but I also loved everything Tristan did to understand them and win them over. Gosh, I've been swooning over Tristan freaking Miles the whole freaking book, this man cannot be anymore perfect! 😍

This is a reread because it's been about a couple years since I first read it and I wanted to see if this series is as good as I remember. The first time I thought it was a 5-star read but now while I still love it, it's down to 4.25 stars.
I love Jameson and Emily when they are not fighting and just being cute. And also loved when Emily interacted with her friends from work but Jameson got on my nerves a few times during this book. You can be very stressed but that doesn't mean you can be an asshole to the people around you and they just have to take it. So that and the childish fights made me take 0.75 stars out 😅
