reviewing my spreadsheet for this book and all i wrote is:
"can a book be both your favorite and least favorite at the same time?"
so. yeah.
cal, our mmc, had some struggles that hit a little close home for me. as someone who, in the past, consistently felt like someone else's addiction was more important than me, and felt pushed aside with regularity because of it, this book was hard to read at times. but cal pushing through it and recognizing his behavior, and working on his relationships with his family and our girl lana made it a fun read too. lana, our badass fmc, keep me in it and rooting for them.
we've got second chance romance, forced proximity, single mom, and enemies to lovers.
per my spreadsheet:
spice 🌶 - a 4 🌶 spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 4 days
did it make me cry? - oh just about. i think i was a lil enraged during the times i would normally cry lol

started out fun, with a spicy little meet cute, leading to a fun chase but the main conflict(s) fizzled out a little too soon for me. apparently i need to work for my happily ever afters because i kind of limped through the last 1-2 hours of this book. still enjoyed it tho!
