Thank you SO much to Kimi Freeman and Parson Press for the ARC!
This is was just the stinking cute cheesy romance that I needed to read right now!!!
I read this so fast and ended up staying up late into the night to finish it! There were so many tropes going on that I love:
- small town setting
- second chances
- big city girl / small town boy
- forced proximity
I was eating it up! Aspen and Roman will stay with me for a while yet, their romance was just SO sweet.
As a massive Swiftie I found the song titles/lyrics distracting at first (DBATC took me out). But towards the end I was so wrapped up in the story that they didn’t bother me. I didn’t love the playlist that correlated to each chapter so I just ignored that.
I was shocked when I found out Freeman’s age in the acknowledgments, she is writing at an incredible level! A fantastic debut!
