Y'all, I DEVOURED this book! This was such a fun ride from the beginning all the way to the very end! I appreciated how we got to see both points of view, which I love because oftentimes the male's POV is left out of the book! Brendan was adorable and although Piper could be a bit *much* at times, I loved her as well. The spice was HOT and the perfect amount, imo. This is easily the best grumpy x sunshine trope I've ever read! Love love love this one-- probably my favorite read of 2022 so far!
→ Things I Liked: Chapter lengths, Lovable characters, Dual POV, Perfect amount of smut
→ Things I Disliked: Wasn't a fan of Mick, but I guess there's gotta be a villain in every story.
