The overall premise was interesting. 
The execution was agonizing.

The rating is for me. It’s a sweet book and I don’t usually read sweet. I wasn’t really in the mood for sweet. I would put spice at 1 🌶️. Church and god are also a big ick for me. It wasn’t overbearing just there. There was also a lot of lying that was part of their quirky relationships and it made me uncomfortable. The book was well written and a sweet romance for those looking for that. Don’t let my curmudgeoness ruin that for you.

OW drama is one of my triggers
Otherwise it was well written and a good start.
I wish I had read this series in order.


The miscarriage is in explicit detail which was triggering for me. Please take care of you. The rape is also in explicit detail.
