I had just finished reading The Rule Book right before I started this, which I said was my favorite Sarah Adams book and I immediately had to retract that statement. THIS is my favorite book.

Emily Walker is hands down one of the most relatable FMCs to me. As an oldest daughter who holds in her emotions, this book made me feel SEEN. Her fear of people she loves leaving and of never being loved is something I feel on a personal level.

Emily and Jack’s chemistry and banter was top tier from their first interaction. They’re both petty as hell and I love them for it. I love how competitive they are with each other and I loved how we were able to see how their original rivalry developed (and changed) with the emails!

I loved being able to go back to the world of Rome, Kentucky! I missed them dearly <3

I cannot express in words how much I loved this, this book will stick with me for a long time <3

Thank you Dell Romance and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest opinion!
