I enjoyed reading this book. The relationship of Everley and Dylan is very captivating. It was great to follow their relationship, this book made me sob a bit with the confession of feelings, realisation of feelings just made me sob. I also loved the vibes of the book, I have read this during summer time as usually in NZ Christmas times are summer while in other countries are winter time so reading this felt like I was in winter time with all the descriptions and story telling of the book. The friendships that everley have with Casey is goals, I would want a friend like Casey who would hype you up in everything, to make you feel beautiful, his encouragement of words is wow, I would want a friend like him. And also I loved the idea of the small
Town community who knows everyone in the town and would love to help one another. I enjoyed this book so much. There’s a plot twist at the very start so it was interesting and fascinating to read! I would recommend it if you are into fake dating trope, small town romance and holiday romance. Definitely recommend! Overall rate it 4.5/5⭐️⭐️

+++ spice: 5/5

kay so i’m a sucker for a second chance romance (you can’t not love them), and the fact that they were divorced but technically still married - loved it.
wasn’t a big fan of the writing style to be perfectly honest, but wattpady but you win some you lose some

This book was soo good, god I loved it. Dylan and Evie are just the best, and not to forget he's the calm to her storm. Damn fuck the romance and chemistry between those two ahhhhh I love it . A love like this is worth everything.

I really didn't like this book. It was boring and way to long-winded. The final argument was about something so minor I couldn't even take it seriously. I have to amit that I didn't read the entire book, skipped multiple chapters and still don't feel like I missed anything important. It really was a shame because the setting of the book really appealed to me.

Dylan and Evelyn were allright as a couple. Didn't really get Dylans reasoning behind the break-up. Evelyn's portrayed as a strong minded woman at first, because she chose het career over a man, even though she loved him. But I don't really like who she is when she's with him.

Also not a fan of the spice. Dylan was getting random boners al over the place and all the memories discussed were about his boners and sex. Seems like a less than ideal relationship to me.

Also, one last pet peeve: the usage of the word ''blink'' (54 times). There are other ways to describes emotions. Example ''She blinked at that thought'', ''Dylan blinked and turned his head''. What does that even mean???
