4.0

Around 50%, I was like... I'M OBSESSED!! I thought it was gonna end up being a 4.5 or 4.75 stars book for me. But some things that came after the 50% mark downed my rating to 4 stars. 

Those things were:

• Continuity errors (for example: she had a hysterectomy when she was 30... But all of a sudden, at 34 years old, she's having periods??)
• The sex scenes ended too abruptly. Like the foreplay would end and then it would mostly just skip to the next chapter and to a new scene?? Not a fan of that. (along with scenes being mentioned, but not explicitly shown ON page)
• I was promise Savannah Bananas baseball vibes, and I was not given that 😭 Where was the social media videos, lips syncing, and dancing?!

Okay, now onto things I did love about the book:

• The small town vibes were immaculate 
• Jared 😍 Everything about that man is just *chef's kiss*
• Their group of friends
• Her romance bookstore being called Smutty Buddies
• The soft and accepting love

I really wish the sex scenes lived up to what I wanted them to be, with how the characters talked and thought... Because I really do love these characters and would love to read more about them, but I can't deal with being let down 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyways, I'd still recommend this book! Because I really did enjoy it, besides for the things I complained about above.
