Super, super cute! And definitely on the steamier side in a couple of scenes, if you’re wondering about that sort of thing. 

One thing I went back and forth on was Emily’s mental state. In one hand, there were definitely moments where it was clear she was spiraling. Anxiety maybe, or just her past experience with dickhead-ex? I can emphasize with that and understand how sometimes it’s not always a rational line of thought. 

I do think that bit was a little overdone though. There were other times where her thoughts were clear contradictions with her experiences, or even with her own previous thoughts. When everything seemed peachy, I was wondering what sort of conflict could possibly necessitate another half or so of the book. I think a lot of that conflict was forced by the author injecting her with some of these irrational thoughts. As if those thoughts were there for the sole purpose of propelling the story forward. 

I hope that makes sense. I need to stop writing reviews late at night 😅 Still a great, what I like to call, “palate cleanser.”
