you know that book that gives you literal chills, sobbing tears of joy, actual laugh out loud moments, and all of the squealing because the characters are just too damn cute and made for each other? 

yeah, that’s this book 💝

it took me approximately a year (lmao, more like a month) to read this one because I wanted to savor every chapter and every moment of our queen fizzy chen!!! after completely falling in love with her in THE SOULMATE EQUATION, I was beyond ecstatic for her to finally get her happily ever after too 🥹🥹🥹 

and connor, woooo boy connor, is our british daddy KING (and yes, even the fans in the book know it) 😮‍💨 I love a good mutual pining between two characters who are absolutely perfect for each other but somehow believe that the other is too good for them!!!! 

I loved the concept of a bachelor-style show for fizzy because it was realistic and so adorable for our hot mess of a FMC 🫶🏼 and of course, seeing jess and river again was an added bonus 

the ending, however, was what sealed the deal for a 5 star review for me 🥹🥹🥹 I literally was simultaneously sobbing and squealing at 1am because when I tell you, it was absolutely perfect - I’m not lying 

so moral of the story: please read this one, it may take the cake for being my favorite christina lauren novel yet!!!!!

a ginormous thank you to netgalley and gallery books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! I’ve already pre-ordered my copy!!!
