Love all the characters. It seemed kinda slower for me and I kept wanting more.... something. But definitely an enjoyable read!

second chance, secret identity, online, slow burn, veteran mmc, grumpy sunshine, age gap, dual pov, dual timeline

Oh geez. I have been swooned from beginning to end. For as big as Carter's personality is, I just adored him. He and Olivia were so cute together. Every single character in this book was perfection, I loved all of them. They all had their moments of making me laugh. I loved Carter's love for Oreos and Disney movies (like seriously, create a more perfect man for me lol). I also appreciated there were three John Mayer songs on the playlist. Great playlist.

“I like it when you smile,” he murmurs. “It makes me want to smile too.”

"You can’t fix your past, but if you want a different future, all you have to do is choose it.”

“I one thousand percent love you more than Oreos.”

“I know you think your tears are a weakness, Ollie, but they show me how huge your heart is.”

Part 1 was slow and the world building was a bit confusing. It starts off strong but quickly lost me. Part 2 more of the  character stories played in with the enemies to lovers and marriage of convenience but it still didn't do much for me. Everything just kinda fell flat for me. 

This book was so cute from beginning to end. I loved how sweet it was. Some parts and relationships felt a little rushed, including the epilogue, but it was overall very cute. 

"don't ever let anyone make you feel bad about who you are or scared to live your life"

Vaughn's slip up made me so irritated. Like eye roll irritated but the banter and chemistry between him and Billie was good. 

"sometimes silence is what a person needs."

Characters were loveable and it was a unique setting. I enjoyed it.

Jasmine Guillory writes the cutest meet cutes and lighthearted love stories. The third act breakup wasn't my favorite but the characters were loveable.

Penny and Cooper's flirtatious banter was so fun throughout! Mix friends with benefits and a "he teaches her" trope together and you'll get lots of different spicy fun. But still great character development and growth towards the end!

I had high hopes for this one but I don't think witches in books excite me. I just found all the characters kind of boring and everything underwhelming and a bit lost. Something that also bugs me is when it's a dual pov but one of the pov is in a different pov than the first. 

This book was so cozy and a warm hug. It is everything good. The setting is so fun and unique. it reminded me of the movie Stranger than Fiction but also a little bit like the TV series of Once Upon a Time.
