Tanvier Peart hit this one out of the park!!! I'm packing my bags to go to a singles retreat in Colorado ski country; the setting descriptions were phenomenal, and I was dreaming of their hotel 😩 Also, this was freaking hilarious. Justice and Emma's friendly, quippy conversations had me cackling. I was easily sucked in to the story and didn't want to put it down once I started.

Marriage in trouble is by far one of my favorite tropes. The Seven Month Itch is one of my new favorites. I loved the obvious tension between Justice and Terrence. They love each other so much, but there is a lot of hurt between the two of them. The back and forth and emotional reunion really suited them. I also thought the miscommunication was extremely realistic to their history (I am a miscommunication apologist thought so...). The smut y'all... if y'all blush easy don't read this one in public 🥵. 

Read this if you like second chance, marriage in trouble, learning to trust after hard times, a man who knows what you like and will do it every single time, and realistic third act miscommunication.
