I felt it deep in my bones, nerves in my legs, butterflies in my belly, excitement in my chest and pain my in my cheeks from smiling. I laughed out loud, I cried, my lips wobbled with overwhelming emotion...This had be my the throat at every page. I need to read it again already.'

This is one where you can re-read over and over again and still finish it feeling giddy and emotional. I cannot believe this book is a debut novel. I'm so excited to see what else the author puts out!' 'The chemistry between the FMC and the MMC was incredible, every supporting character was distinct and lovable. Did I just find a new autobuy author?! I love the way the slow burn was executed, and the growth of both main characters. I cannot think of a single thing I would change!'
