This is so sad wtf. Like Gibsie isn’t actually the happy Gibsie he was in the other books. I can’t rn. I get why he didn’t want to open up to Claire but I was so glad he did. I think Claire was wrong about telling everyone but I think Lizzie needed to hear it. Also Lizzie is a bitch sorry not sorry. It felt a little bit rushed at the end and kinda wish it was longer so it didn’t rush as much as it did.

This is so heartbreaking honestly. I won’t lie there was times where joey really annoyed me but I still love him cos the trauma he had to go through. Aoife is just the best like what a strong gal. The way they love each other is something else entirely. I’m just so happy they got their HEA.

I actually can’t, THIS IS SO SAD. But it’s also kinda the perfect story. Knowing Joey protected Shannon from so much is making me sad. He knew his mam wouldn’t get Christmas presents for his siblings so he got them 😭 the way he trusted Aoife with so much and she just wanted him to get better. I love them both so much. But the ending….. excuse me. Anyway love love love

Oh my god!!! my emotions aren’t right rn. I’m not giving spoilers but I knew in certain points (iykyk). I’m so happy Shannon’s happy and they’re together. I’m so so obsessed. Actually love love love. I didn’t think Johnny could get any better but he did and he’s now my ultimate book boyfriend. I don’t even know how to properly describe how much I love this book.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! Big big big yes!!! Actually perfect. I’m so so obsessed with them. Always love a grumpy sunshine vibe. I LOVE Ivy - such a girl boss, I don’t love how her ex treated her though but wade made up for it. Their story is actually beautiful.

This book is actually perfect. The love they have for each other is on another level. Bo is actually the sweetest and hottest man ever and I’m obsessed with him. I love them both so much together. I cried too so that’s a sign of a very good book. The spice was so good ngl. Overall this book made me so happy and I love love love it!

I read this in one sitting and I’m obsessed with everyone. The one thing I’ll say is there’s panic attacks described so if that’s something you don’t want to read this book isn’t for you. Butttttt I loved how they helped the little boy at the beginning. The jealousy, the wanting but not wanting was so good. The spice was so good and I liked the “rule” about kissing

OK YES! Big big slay! This was such a gripping and fast read. They’re both just so good together but sad at times. I love it when the brother isn’t actually mad. The spice was so good

I would’ve rated this 4⭐️ but at times it felt like it dragged a little bit and could’ve been slightly shorter and ngl I did cringe at some parts. It is cute though and I love how protective Chase is of Bailey slay! Kinda loved the drama in it as well
