ARC Review

Thank you to Ellie K. Wilde, Atria Books, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

This had so many of my favorite tropes: second chance, brother's best friend, sports, and found family! Plus some obvious fake dating! I loved it! 

I've become a big fan of quiet expressions of love in romance books instead of the grand gesture. Zac does quiet love in the best way! I love that he sees Melody and does everything he can to empower her! Especially after everything her ex put her through!

ARC Review

Thank you to Adrienne Young, Random House Publishing, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was outside of my comfort zone. I typically do not read thrillers and if I do, there is significantly more romance. However, I enjoyed this book! I really enjoyed the writing! Once I was invested, I did not want to put this book down.

My thoughts: 

1. This book didn't surprise me by any of its twists. But I wouldn't have guessed the twists before they happened either. It felt like I was unraveling the mystery with James, which I loved!

2. The ending felt a little anticlimactic! Due to the tension that had been built, I expected a bigger or more emotional reveal. 

3. The way grief was dealt with was beautiful!
