3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  single mom *·˚ sport romance *·˚ baseball *·˚ he falls first *·˚ found family *·˚ bookish FMC *·˚ golden retriever MMC ٭⊹•꧂ The dialogue was cute. The plot moved at a reasonable pace. The characters have chemistry, but the story was lacking. Flynn was the highlight of the book for me. I loved that he always acknowledged that Olivia was a mom first and included Greer often. The goldenest of golden retrievers! Overall, It is a good book but nothing really special stands out.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 4 in the Holland Brothers Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  second chance *·˚ childhood friends to lovers *·˚ forced proximity *·˚ road trip *·˚ small town  ٭⊹•꧂ There is just no yearning for the second chance relationship. No pining over. They both magically realize they’re still in love five years later and bum! They were head over heels for each other again.  Also, there is a hell of a lot of inner monologuing but they don’t actually have a conversation. They simply don’t talk. It became all too corny and predictable, to the point where I probably could’ve just skipped to the end and knew the outcome.  “If you’re lost, I’ll find you. I’ll give you my body, my heart, and my…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  rivals to lovers *·˚.  insta love *·˚.  summer romance *·˚. forced proximity  ٭⊹•꧂ Sadly, I couldn’t connect with the characters and their story. Also, the pacing was a little slower than I prefer. I was so bored. I’m super bummed because I adored Annabel Monaghan but this book wasn’t for me. “I am so beautiful. I am so wanted. Inside this kiss I am all the things I have believed I am not.” From the USA Today bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script, a novel about a former adolescent TV punchline who has left her awkwardness in the rearview mirror thanks to a fake-it-till-you-make-it mantra that has her on the cusp of success, until she…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  sapphic romance *·˚.  character driven *·˚. astronomy *·˚. queer awakening *·˚. friends to lovers *·˚. workplace *·˚.  astronauts *·˚. slow burn  ٭⊹•꧂ This book started off slow. There was so much space science talking in the beginning that it took a bit for the story to really kick in for me. But once it did, I was super invested. The last third part was intensely compelling, raw, and SO beautiful. The ending was rather abruptly though, it left me wanting an epilogue to give me more closure. However, this author has a way of bringing out deep emotions in me, I should never doubt her, everything TJR touches is gold. 4.5 stars rounded…

I enjoyed the banter. They have good chemistry. But the pacing draaagged for me. A usual it was bit boring and it lacked a real conflict.  I keep trying reading her in hopes to find the writing I fell in love with in Every Summer After, but I don’t think I ever will again.

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:꧁•⊹٭  age gap ༊*·˚.  brother’s best friend ༊*·˚. forced proximity ٭⊹•꧂ The book was SO boring. I also don’t think the dual timeline was well done. Specially if you are with the audiobook.

I completely devoured this book in one sitting! The premise is somewhat similar to Taylor Jenkins Reid’s One True Loves, but this book was its own unique story and stood on it’s own two feet. I loved the mix of time traveling with very realistic situations in this book. It added to the depth of the story. There were so many layers to this. The One Before the One  it’s one of those books I’ll be thinking about for a very long…
