3.75 stars rounded up
The last time I read Sarah Mayberry was last year (it was one of her older titles) and I honestly couldn't remember if she ever written smoldering sexy scenes 😂. No matter though, I thought it fit with the book. Haley and Beck had that intense 'thing' also caused by Beck's previous toxic relationship with Haley's troubled sister. While Haley clearly had a crush on Beck. FEELINGS, people.
I loved Haley and her creativity - her shyness and inability to take compliment, to stay away from spotlight suits with her character. Especially because of her older sister's mental health problem and that her parents didn't want Haley to 'rock the boat'. I was happy that Beck took charge of being Haley's champion though. The part where (view spoiler).
I really liked Beck too, and I could understand his first dismissal of Haley, with that horrible history with Haley's sister.
On that note, while I knew that the author didn't make Jess (Haley's sister) a simple villain, that she REALLY has mental health problem that needs professional help, I am rather weary with that epilogue timeline. Does (view spoiler) really enough? I know that this is Haley and Beck's book, NOT Jess, despite her being a very strong element of the relationship, but I sort of want a longer timeline for Jess to get the help, maybe a couple of scenes with Haley and Jess during therapy, so I can accept that Jess is really better in the epilogue chapter.
But again, it's NOT Jess' book, is it 🤷♀️
