I really enjoyed this book until the 3rd act conflict. Rosie's reaction felt over the top and she came across as so immature. It was also pretty obvious throughout the book what was going to happen, although I wasn't expecting Rosie to be quite so dramatic. 

The rest of the book was great. I loved the slow burn enemies to lovers.  I loved the grumpy x sunshine. Their banter was hilarious although I don't know how they got away with behaving like that in their class for so long. There are some great side characters and I loved learning more about Rosie's Peruvian heritage and her adorable family. 

The book within a book did slow the pace down a bit because the plot was pretty much Aiden and Rosie's relationship. It made it a bit repetitive but it did mean we got some insight into what Aiden was feeling. The shared Google doc and co-writing the spicy scenes was so good. I was impressed by their confidence to read their chapters out loud in front of everyone who knew it was about themselves.

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more from Katie Holt

This is a cute small town romance. It is predictable but it makes it a fun easy read. I would say that whilst I did enjoy the series I wouldn't read them one after the other because they follow the same formula making it a bit repetitive. However, with a break between they are great. 

I loved both Sav and Hayes and their sarcastic banter was hilarious. I'm normally not a fan of miscommunication but I'll let them off because they were teens going through a lot of drama. I also like the fact that Hayes learned from his mistakes and made sure to communicate better. It was a mix of heartbreaking and sweet reading his letters from the past. The realisation they both had at the end made the whole story even better. 

My favourite thing about this series is the found family element. There are so many fantastic recurring characters. They add even more banter and the boys' group chat is highly entertaining. They just seem like the best friendship group. And as always, much love for beefcake.

This is such a great series. I love Bree and her family and how much they've all grown together. I didn't realise I had missed a book, a collab with Kendra Elliot, that introduced a new character but it didn't take away from the story. She's a great addition and I look forward to getting to know her more. There are so many great characters. As with all of Melinda's books, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked and I definitely hadn't guessed the end.
