it took me over a month to read this one because I kept starting and getting angry at the two MCs and then putting it aside for a week 😭 but I will say, the second half of the book was wayyyy better than the first half

I love a good small town romance when it’s done right (not a la hallmark vibes) - and I think this one was a bit too cheesy for me 😔 even though you know I love a british MMC my goodness 

my biggest pet peeve was the enemies to lovers plot (I know, who the heck am I) - mostly due to the fact that it went from clear “I will end you and expose your darkest secrets” to “oh maybe I’m obsessed with you” without any real tension or come to terms in between 

and both adalyn and cameron were so both damn stubborn that the book would be cut down to approximately 10 chapters if they just had a come to jesus moment way earlier in the plot 

I did really enjoy the ending, and the plot twist with the miami flames and adalyn’s father made me angry on behalf of the entire town 🥲 but overall, this was a cute but forgettable romance to me! (sorry delaney)
