This is my first time reading from this author and I just realised I have one of their other books in my tbr for a while now so I definitely will be picking that one soon and will be eyeing for the new books 🫶

The Ex Vows was a captivating and emotional romance novel. I really felt Georgia's abandonment and Eli's anxiety issues, and honestly, I don't want anyone to suffer these because it is indeed hard. There would be a sense of unconscious self sabotaging that would make the already felt or mental state worse than already is, and something like this is not something easy to be resolved. 

With that being said, I obviously love Georgia and Eli 🤚🏽

The building of their second chance was well done. I enjoy their character growth and navigation to open up to each other once again. There's also some pinning here or just Eli gravitating towards Georgia– it was delicious 🤌🏽 I love them both.

Other than that, I also love the circle of friends these two have. They are so supportive and at the same time look out for each other's well-being. I really appreciate the relationship and the interaction the characters had.

The writing is well done as well. It was captivating as what I have said already. There's just parts that I felt were too slow for my liking. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this book. This was a balance of wholesome, emotional, or angsty at times.

I would also like to mention how GOOD THE LOVE SCENE here is 🤌🏽 IT WAS SO WELL WRITTEN I HAD TO REREAD IT AGAIN 🤚🏽

Overall, I need you all to read this romance novel. You won't regret it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🫶
