This book was okay. It gave me cute, cheesy, self published vibes that made me think that this could be a low-key chick flick. That being said, early on I feel like we should be able to know the main characters like each other without them straight up saying they like each other out of the gate in their first POVs. Definitely a more casual fast pace type of writing but the characters were fun.

This might be the best book in the Game of Thrones series so far! Sooo many pivotal plot twists and scenes! All the storylines had something exciting!

The banter, the second chance, the swoon!! Meghan Quinn does it again for me. She's one of my go to authors. She always puts a smile on my face while reading when I'm usually such a stoicIreader. I have been waiting to read a baseball (ish) romance. Thank you MQ for delivering!! This book showcased getting over a marriage lull in a funny and genuine way. I enjoyed it so much! I also first fell in love with the Cane brothers so I love that they were intertwined as well (including an honorable mention of Kazoo that stole our hearts lol). Loved it!

Overall the book started off slow but I appreciated the plot line throughout the book, good climax, and I liked the small town vibe and happily ever after! So many tropes but they were very well done: age gap, slow burn, small town, found family, grumpy x sunshine. The characters were loveable and am so excited to read Nash's and Lucian's stories in the next books!!

Overall a lighthearted, romcom, chick-lit, cheesy Hallmark type of read. Elena Armas does a great job in her books including native language but also the translation in a casual and easy to read way to keep with the story. I felt the book was fast paced but with a slow burn.

I didn't feel like I connected to the book and a few scenes just appeared all of a sudden. But the characters were loveable and had lots of cute moments, touching moments, and HEA. Not my favorite Emily Henry book but would still recommend.

The book had a full circle moment from prologue to the end and it was great. All my questions I had about the characters and storyline were answered in the last chapter. This was a fast pace quick read but was good. I thought the concept of paintings inspired by people's confessions was really interesting!

TJR does it again where I didn't think I would like this book as much as I did and am surprised I really enjoyed it. I liked the oral history writing style and the full circle moment at the end. I thought the story was written at a great pace and I liked seeing everyone's character development.

I'm kinda of disappointed that the first 3 in this series were so easy to devour and this one was kind of a struggle to connect with. We're immediately thrown into an immediate obsession/attraction from both parties, which turned me off. I felt like the book was kinda slow and a lot of different pieces but not a whole lot of connection.... It just felt kinda random. Sadly was disappointed I didn't love this one as much as the other 3.
