I needed a pick-me-up, and this book delivered. I loved the banter, not only between the couple, but between them and the side characters. I also loved the focus on the importance of female friendships 💞

I loved this book as much as I hate the cover... I usually don't like book covers with "real people" on them, but this one is specially ugly.

I quite enjoyed this story. I really liked Naledi, her strength, determination and her will to pursue her dreams and carrer. The romance between Naledi and Thabiso is very real and interesting (and so very hot!). My favorite thing about this story (besides Naledi being able to find where she truly feels like home) is the fact that she does not give up on herself and her dreams to stay besides Thabiso. Although she loves him and her new found family and home, she keeps her dreams to get back to New York and follows her career. Because, God knows, we have enough books and movies where women just give up on everything to stay with a man... So this story is different and very much welcome.

Another book I unfairly judged by its cover. This is a heart-warming story of loss, love, friendship... with a side of epidemiology. It didn't capture me right away, and the "twist" was predictable, but overall an enjoyable read.

The first half is slow and predictable, cliched. The second half is worth waiting for and reading through. I mean, it's a romance novel, so you can tell where things are going, but the second half is more believable and engaging and fresh.

3.0

The premise of this book was fun and the main characters had a lot of chemistry. I enjoyed the romance.

However, the pacing was way off for me. there were multiple points in the book where we spent a TON of time on the build-up of a potential problem, only to have the full situation revealed and handled very quickly.

I read the novella Once Ghosted, Twice Shy (#1.5 in this series) last year and it was nice to go back and see the characters who had been mentioned in that novella. I’d still highly recommend that novella. Not sure if I’ll continue further on in this series.
