so-soThe premise was really interesting but I never fell into the story. Jake was one of those main characters that straddled the line between likable and annoying. I‘m going to complain about the ending below under a spoiler guard. I liked this book enough to finish it though.
pickI really enjoyed this book. It was much more a combination of funny and sad, light and heavy than I expected. The characters were likable and there was an HEA. All check the boxes for me in a romance read.
My daughters and I combined some vacation book shopping with apartment hunting for my oldest who is moving out again. She'll be only 90 min. away, and she'll be near her brother, who left just a month ago. And I'll be down to only one child at home now ?. It's so bittersweet to watch them move out and move on. I'm thoroughly excited for them, but still ?. Meanwhile, "beach reads" was our vacation shopping theme ⛱️?
Thanks for the tag @MoonWitch94 😺

pickYet again, I‘m late to the #buddyread party😂🤦♀️but better late than never. I loved reading everyone‘s comments from Sunday!
For a romance to be successful, all I need is 3 simple things to be right…Am I rooting for the couple to be together? Is the chemistry/banter great? And are the supporting characters fun and/or interesting? And this was a yes, yes and yes! An enjoyable read, perfect for summer. #summerheat

I bought this several years ago, but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Sounds interesting and I‘ve heard good things about Laing‘s writing.

I have a few other books with #AnyFlowerInTitle in my stacks but roses seem to be the winner. 🌹 Here‘s six from my #read & #TBR stacks.
Finished with work for the day. Tomorrow‘s wake-up is 4am—we start work before the sun is up so we can finish earlier to beat the worst of the midday heat—but all the coffee I drank this afternoon to fight off jet lag has me more than awake enough to read a few chapters. Yay for caffeine!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A romance author and a literary author, both sparked by their tumultuous whirlwind week together as teens, have been writing to one another through their art. This is a very intense story of lost and found love. Eva‘s daughter Audre, a precocious, intelligent 12 year old, was a brilliant addition. And a h/t to Williams for seamlessly weaving in: POC in publishing, positive co-parenting, non-visible disability, and addiction recovery.
