This romance was a light read which I managed to finish in a day. I enjoyed the alternate pov's as we got to see the main characters thoughts and daily struggles. Bethan documents her struggles as a single mum balancing her job whilst Lachlan is coming to terms with his newly found disability. I got 'you belong with me' vibes from the story.
The book did take a while to get into it and there were some parts which dragged on for longer than they needed to, making it become cringy(e.g. the biscuit conversation). The book includes the miscommunication trope which isn't my favourite and got frustrating. Also Darren is also an asshole, and it was infuriating to hear him speak.
I listened to the audiobook and found the different readers engaging.
