Another book with great representation (ASD, POC, plus size FMC) and beautiful self discovery. 

This is the story of the immature, people pleasing, sunshine little sister sent on a mission to grow up and become independent while finding herself. In the process she finds a cute bed and breakfast to work at with a (grumpy) handsome owner who is on the spectrum. 

This book has my favorite character development out of the series because it’s not just about growing, but also about acceptance. again, there is a slight miscommunication which is not my favorite trope, but it gets rectified quickly. 

PS there is spice and our girl may be a bit of a size queen

This book ate d-d-down!!!
From start to finish I enjoyed it! The character Eve Brown is so relatable especially as someone in their late 20’s still trying to figure my life out and what I want to do. Super loveable as well and funny.
Jacob Wayne!!! (i like that autistic man *tiktok reference iykyk*)
Spicy scenes 10/10! Wished all the spicy scenes were in Jacob’s POV but equal opportunities I guess.🤣

“I told you before, that there are different ways to fail. Imperfection is inevitable. That’s life. But it doesn’t sound to me like you failed at all, Eve. It sounds like your dream broke, and you’ve been picking up shattered pieces, and blaming yourself when your hands bleed.”
