This book was super wholesome and cute, whilst still dealing with a couple of really difficult subjects. With there not being a huge conflict, this book is a great read if you just want to settle down on the couch a cup of hot chocolate, and let yourself disappear into a story.

I loved the dual timeline as it really helped show how the relationship between Aspen and Roman came to be, and how it grew and grew into what it is now. Two people who are truly meant to be.

Roman is truly one of the best love interests out there, even though he did piss me off for a minute near the end (no worries, he redeems himself. I love him again.)
The way he cares for Aspen and has helped her and been there for her throughout her high school years and even now, is just 😍😍😍

Aspen's life is a lot more complicated than the people around her think it is, and she has to balance her own mental health and the job she loves, which isn't an easy thing to do.
She has to work through a scandal, and it's truly inspiring to see how she deals with all of it.

Also, a healthy family dynamic? Sign me up! Aspen's family is truly there for her, cheering her on and supporting her dreams.

All in all, this book was a lovely, breezy read. Especially knowing the author is/was sixteen!!  I can't wait to see what books come next.
