⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

🌶️🌶️🌶️(with some description)

I love how Burgess moved at Tallulah’s pace, clearly expressing his feelings but waiting patiently for her to “catch up.” He’s naturally supportive, making her feel safe without trying too hard—it’s just who he is. I wish we’d seen more of Burgess as a dad, though!

This book fell short in the humor department. I expected more laugh-out-loud moments. The back-and-forth between Burgess and Tallulah toward the end felt messy and made their relationship seem insecure. Despite that, the characters acknowledged how they learned from each other, and I’m excited for the third installment—Chloe was a definite highlight!
