"He smiled and holy crap, it was an easy smile to like."

Well done, Brittainy Cherry! This was such a sweet Romance.

Eleanor and Grey meet in high school. He's a jock. She's a bookish introvert. Despite their differences, they form a bond that gets them through some tough stuff. Life events force them to separate after high school, and eventually they lose touch. Eleanor finds her way back to Grey later in life in an unexpected way and the two realize that the bonds they formed in their youth were strong enough to pull them back together.


Grey will be your next book boyfriend, ladies. Bet!


Thank you Brittainy Cherry for the eARC of Eleanor & Grey in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the first part of the story, everything about it. It was perfect. So the second part felt like it was lacking something. Maybe it's the lack of depth in the romantic relationship, or some loose ends for certain characters. I don't know exactely, but it left mea bit underwhelmed.

This book wrecked me in the best possible way!! I absolutely loved it so much!! remember almost putting the book on pause because I had just read a story that was heart wrenching but I am so glad I didn't stop!!
Because not only did it destroy me it put me back together again. I felt this one deep in my soul and felt all the emotions!! What an emotional story about love, loss, grief, healing and second chances. I cannot recommend this book enough!! All the stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Es ist ein bisschen klitscheehaftig. Allerdings musste ich so oft heulen, weil die Storyidee an sich richtig gut ist, aber auch verwirrend und einfach nur traurig. 
Die eine Sexszene hätte man auch rauslassen können, die kam einfach voll Random, so als "müsse einfach eine Buch sein sonst ist die Geschichte nicht gut". Aber an sich ein ganz sweetes Buch.

I love BCC books but this was disappointing. In beginning there isn't much of romance because her mom is sick then time jump happens and he has dead wife and two kids. Romance is weakest part of book, I liked Grey and Eleanor with kids and whole dealing with grief. Overall disappointing.
