I fell in love w/ Julie Olivia from reading Off The Hook, and after reading this series I can see why I like that one so much better, haha - these were still okay, just not nearly as well written.

God I loved this. At first I was wary because Saria seemed very juvenile, but I liked seeing her growth. Harry was so sweet and so much wonderful protective brunch daddy vibes. I found it funny and poignant and wonderful. I was so happy with this book

This may be my favorite book of Julie Olivia’s in this series. Not only are the main characters the perfectly written and terrific to read separately, they are super hot together. I wasn’t so sure about the age difference at first, but she wrote it fantastic and you can feel the reality that a relationship with a age gap would have. Action (wink wink) kicks off right away and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Julie is INCREDIBLE at writing the sass and wit.
Oh, and this book stars a little kid and she is the perfect comedic relief. She is a typical happy, curious, innocent little kid and is honestly hilarious.
I won’t spoil the very end, but it got me choked up. The perfect ending to the series because I felt like I watched all of these relationships start and grow and it feels like the end of an era. LOVE IT!

(4.5) I looooooove the last book of this series! The relationships Julie Olivia writes have an air of realism that someone is missing in contemporary romances. People lose their way, sometimes they need to figure things out, and sometimes they need to grow. This particular book we see all of this happening with the characters.

probably my favorite of the series!!

saria and harry were SO CUTE, and i loved how much saria grew throughout this book. (noah sucked LMAO) she was waaaay better off without him. i'm not a big fan of single parent romances but this one was really well done, and i actually really liked the kid.

the immediate tension and chemistry in this book was to die for!! i absolutely loved how saria and harry were enthralled with each other almost right away. it was a really well written match. there were sparks everywhere.

the only thing about this book that was "eh" to me, was the ending epilogue. i kind of wish we had seen more of a closing curtain on the crew but oh well. as long as i know they're happy and in love it's fine with me.

This was easily my favorite of the three books in this series. Perhaps it was because Saria’s unclear life path was so relatable as someone in my 20s, or perhaps because Harry was just so damn great. I also could read a million fake dating books and never get tired of them so there’s that. I wasn’t expecting to tear up at the epilogue, but I really enjoyed getting to know everyone in these books and they way they connected.
