⤷ this book is about Aurora De La Torre (h) who just got dumped recently by her famous dickhead boyfriend. is it maybe because it reminds me of twilight aka one of my comfort movies? yes, of fucking course.Īnd the fact that this book has found family/home trope, small town, a dilf and his cute adorable teenage kid, slowburn (no, like, this is VERY slowburn guys), grumpy/sunshine trope? just- I M M A C U L A T E. like, it just makes me feel so comfy, just- soo at peace, ya know? i don't know why. There's just something so peaceful about the outdoors and small town in fiction. This book really made me wanna get out of my bed, stop reading till 4 am, and instead wake up at 4 am, go on 5 hour hikes, go camping and generally just go outside. But if you don't mind, you will find this to be an enjoyable read.

However, to be blunt: If you are over the formula, the character interchangeability and the slow burn, you might not like this book. That said, I went into this book expecting to really enjoy it and I did. And I've learned that picking up an MZ book with lighting strike expectations only leads to disappointment. Because those books are like unicorns, folks, and I accept that. And this book was no different.ĭid I love it as much as Winnipeg and Kulti? No. I enjoy the way she writes.the details and the nuance.the way things are slowly revealed to the reader in small chunks. They are usually good guileless people with good hearts and interesting backgrounds and I enjoy that you have to work a little bit to get to know them, even if they all are a little similar.

In fact, Van/Sal and Aurora felt very similar to me in a way that a lot of MZ's main characters do.Rhodes was very Aiden/Renier with his grumpiness.īecause I like MZ's lead characters. Like all MZ books, it was super slow burn with a somewhat meandering plot.a lot of the characters and tensions were very MZ formula, i.e., Van had her marathons and fucked up family and Aurora had huge hikes and a previously fucked up relationship. This was just exactly what I was in the mood for. And, luckily enough, I was enjoying a lazy day and had all the time in the world to read it. Color me happy when it popped up yesterday. Like many MZ fans, I was neurotically checking amazon virtually everyday awaiting this book release.
