This book…. THIS BOOK. It’s everything & I will forever be in awe that it’s a debut! 

Even though this is the slowest of slow burns, and it was torturous to watch Talia & Walker continue to be just friends, I loved it. The family dynamic and the honesty between the Hartrick family was so refreshing. I love that it immediately wasn’t even going to be a secret about who Talia was and her connection to her father. It was addressed and put out in the open rather than being buried. 

The representation in this book was so well done between the anxiety, the trauma, & the therapy rep. I’m so glad it had these aspects of real life represented. 

I cannot wait for the next books in the series.

This book was the perfect mix of enemies-to-lovers, Hunger Games vibes, but without the high stakes, magic, DRAGONS. I just loved this perfect cozy, low stakes fantasy. Even though it was low stakes, the things that did happen still made me on edge and excited to see what was going to happen next. I also really connected to both of the main characters and loved the dual POV. It pulled me right out of a book slump and now I am just craving more books like this one! I highly recommend it if you love the fantasy vibes without the high stakes.
