Friends to lovers will remain my favorite romance trope. There were a few things that bothered me about the book but ultimately I really enjoyed it. I admired Remedy and felt for her with what she went through in her previous relationship with Nigel and his family. How she realized that although he loved her, she’d always be second and that she loved herself enough to walk away which honestly was good with the mess his mama and daddy were trying to put on them. I still wanna slap his daddy. I loved how even though she felt the attraction with Sea when they first met, she knew she had hurts to work through and heal and so a beautiful friendship between them formed. 

I was sad we didn’t get to see much of Sea’s previous relationship. It felt like it was a tidbit added in there although I did like when he went talk to Yasmin. He also had hurts to work through before he let Remedy know he was through just being friends and wanted more for them. 

What I enjoyed most about them was their williness to talk and not let the other hide. It was more so Sea letting Rem know he was there for her and that he wasn’t Nigel. 

One thing that did put me off a bit was at times when the story had moved weeks or months along and we didn’t know right away. It threw me off a bit and made me wonder if I missed a chapter but I did get back into the book. 

I was also a fan of both their families. I felt so much love for Sea’s older sister, Emerald, who had to mother her 3 siblings after their mother left and never looked back. That got to me. Overall, I enjoyed this one!
