I was waiting for this book like so many of us that read the series, but really what stands out to me is how much I love Summer overall. It’s a good book, I really enjoyed it, but god I wish she was real and I could somehow convince her to be my friend.

This book had me emotional from the first 10% through the whole way.
I didn’t think other characters were gonna top Lily & Nico from this series for meThis book had me emotional from the first 10% through the whole way.
I didn’t think other characters were gonna top Lily & Nico from this series for me, but Ollie is really giving them a run for their money.
I love Meadow and I want to be her friend so bad.
Ollie and Meadow are each other’s first love from when they were young, and haven’t seen each other in years. In those years they have a lot of perceptions that aren’t necessarily based on fact. We all have that stuff we haven’t let go of from when we were younger, especially if it has to do with family right? It’s so real and it’s beautiful to watch them start to resolve it (even though they’re scared) and help each other with it as well.
I don’t always like second chance and I loved every second of this one, it was well done and made a lot of sense for the characters.
There are one or two things I would probably change about this or wish maybe happened slightly differently, but overall 98% of this book I was emotional mess and eating it ALL up.
While I’m sure you could enjoy this book as a standalone, I would highly suggest reading the others in this series first. I felt like since I knew Ollie from the other books I could jump in with both feet, and I think it really helped me enjoy and like it as much as I did. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much without knowing him a bit already.
It was a beautiful end to this series, though I’d love to see a couple of the other characters get their happy endings too! Maybe in other series? We’ll see :)

I was worried this book was going to break my heart after seeing the teasers on bookstagram, and it kind of did, but it ended up being worth it!

I definitely felt like it was harder to enjoy the first part and really appreciate it knowing the hurt was coming, but it was done much better than I expected and realistic in a way I was worried it wouldn’t be. It worked for their story and I’m glad to have read it even when it crushed me! ...more

This is the first book of Dani’s I’ve read and I loved loved loved this book and will probably come back to provide a better review when I have time. This is the first book of Dani’s I’ve read and I loved it. It was a little different style of writing then some mainstream romances imo but that’s not a bad thing! Just different. At the end of the day I loved both the main characters and related to them both in different ways, and enjoyed their story! I definitely read it at the right time. ...more
I enjoyed this book, the first time I read this author I didn’t realize her books (from what I’ve seen) are closed door, and this one does a great jobI enjoyed this book, the first time I read this author I didn’t realize her books (from what I’ve seen) are closed door, and this one does a great job at still providing that tension and feeling I enjoy getting from romance books even with just kissing portrayed.
I love the brother’s best friend trope, so if you enjoy that I’d say you’d like this book. It was a sweet fun read. ...more

The spice is good and you get to some of it pretty quickly too!
I received an ARC of this book and think it’s a great debut and sets up other characters and couples to come SO well! Excited to get more in this universe. ...more
The writing was great, I loved the characters. Emmy goes back to her hometown and gets closer to her brother’s best friend in a way she never expectedThe writing was great, I loved the characters. Emmy goes back to her hometown and gets closer to her brother’s best friend in a way she never expected. Luke hasn’t really seen Emmy for long since she’s left and only for short periods of time. That quickly changes as they work together on her family’s ranch and Luke helps her more then she expected.
Also I want a friend like Teddy.
I would classify this as a bit of a slow burn but it’s worth it. I honestly just wish it was a little longer or we got a bit more at the end but I know this is the start of a universe so hopefully well see lots of cameos in future books. ...more
Perfection. That’s what this book is. It’s been awhile since I read the other books in this series, but I’m 99% this is my favorite Lovelight book.
I Perfection. That’s what this book is. It’s been awhile since I read the other books in this series, but I’m 99% this is my favorite Lovelight book.
I listened to a virtual talk on release day of this book and Becka Mack said this is the first book she ever annotated and if you need more convincing then that I’m not sure you’re where you are supposed to be.
There are so many amazing parts in this book I know I will go back and reread, and I really just wanted Nova and Charlie to find their happiness throughout the story :)
It was well worth it, and a great wrap at the end of the series (with hopefully some possibilities we’ll get later pleaaaaaaaaaaase) ...more

I related to Betty and really enjoyed that for a romance book this was relatively “real” with work and career and family issues being present. It was enjoyable with a good balance of spice and storytelling. Neither of them had a picture perfect life or family but surrounded themselves with amazing people.
So happy to see Betty’s friend Maggie is getting a book after meeting her in this one! ...more

Lorelei is also a college athlete in addition to Luca being a star football player, and I really enjoy when the FMC’s in books have something they’re passionate about or also play a sport instead of just leaving it to all the MMCs. This book was fantastic. ...more

They both need to work on things in their lives and get pushed together as best man and maid of honor for Holt’s (Hannah’s brother) wedding. It’s a little on purpose by their family/friends to get both of them to open their eyes.
If you like second chance-y, brother’s best friend books you should enjoy this. ...more
I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get over the age gap in this book as someone who doesn’t love age gaps - but Hannah made it work.
I love Addie andI was worried I wouldn’t be able to get over the age gap in this book as someone who doesn’t love age gaps - but Hannah made it work.
I love Addie and Cooper both separately and together. Addie gives off the confidence that of corse Oakley and Ava’s daughter would have, but she’s so much deeper too. Cooper helps her feel seen and safe in a way I think she’s been craving.
I’ve loved Cooper since he was a kid in his dad Adam’s book, and his character is exactly what you would think he’d be. A caring teacher who takes care of everyone in his life. I’m happy they end up having each other in the end. ...more
