✨ARC Review✨

Now *this* is fun.  A brother’s best friend to lovers romance. A childhood friends to lovers romance. An “it was always you” romance. 

Melody spent her teen years quietly loving Zac, her twin brother’s best friend. On the eve of her departure to college, she asks him to kiss her. He says he’ll be right back, but he doesn’t come back. She goes to college heartbroken and spends ten years resenting him for leaving her hanging. 

Now she’s back in their hometown after a breakup with her longtime boyfriend which left her basically homeless. When she’s coerced into a friend group camping trip, she’s spending an exorbitant amount of time with a fully-grown and insanely attractive Zac. 

Their chemistry is off the charts and the push and pull is glorious. I love Melody and Zac. I love how he wants her exactly as she is naturally- kind of a grump, to be honest. And the way Melody strives to get his biggest grin. And y’all. Their spicy times be spicin’ hard. 

There is a plot point that doesn’t quite work for me, but it was easy for me to disregard. Everything else is so good. 

QOTD: Are you still friends with school pals? One of my besties and I have been friends since freshman home room. And that’s a looong time. 

I received this eARC via #netgalley and @atriabooks. All thoughts are mine alone.
