Ughhh I loved Ro and Matty and their kind, fragile, loving, sensitive hearts! 

It was a bumpy road for them to finally admit their feelings for eachother (but it was worth the wait!) They both had a lot of growing to do! The way they saw what was truly hidden inside the other and always had eachother's back was EVERYTHING! Whether they were 'just friends' or more, they were both patient and forgiving, which isn't something that comes easy for most! 

Ro and Matty's relationship is one of my favorites!

Unloved has:
-College Hockey Romance
-Mental Health & Learning Differences rep
-Slow Burn Friends to Lovers
-Thigh Tattoo
-Athlete x Tutor
-Bookish Lonely Girl
-Playboy (secretly sensitive)
-Grief (Loss of parent)

I recommend reading Unsteady before Unloved, but it isn't necessary!

High Hopes by @kistephs is out Feb 13 and I 100% recommend! 

This is a book that hit me right in the feels! I love how Ki creates  characters that aren't perfect and makes them face some tough emotions!  She is also able to  show how despite their differences they are perfect for each other....and Liam and Birdie are just that! 🩶

"Nothing feels ruined when he's around. Just messy, and real, and somehow so much better."

The way they had to build trust with eachother through out the book was so real and sometimes tough, but Liam's unwavering support for Birdie was so sweet! He was patient and unapologetically himself, and I loved how much growth both characters showed by the end of the book! 

 I also loved Sena and Birdie's friendship. The way Sena showed up just for Birdie and went to the soccer scrimmage was 100% what a best friend would do! 👯‍♂️ I loved how Sena would check with Birdie to see what kind of support she needed and didn't just try to fix the problem! 

High Hopes has:
- College Romance
-Soccer Player x Artist
-Grumpy (FMC) x Sunshine (MMC)
-Slow Burn
-Neurodivergent MMC

I love this series and highly recommend all of Ki Stephens books 🩶🩶🩶
