The queen of small town rom com is back with a delightful addition to The Sunrise Cove Series. This second chance, best friends brother, friends to lovers rom com will fill your heart with engaging characters and off beat humor. I absolutely loved Olive and Noah.

This friends to exes to lovers just didn't work for me. And I usually love a good second chance romance. This could be because this was an early arc, and some things will get fixed later on. There were just too many of them. So take my review with a grain of salt.

I never fell in love or had sympathy for the two main characters. They started out being jerks to each other, while at the same time lusting after each other, which was a bit too big of a pull and a push. Let me have my characters hate each other than grow into liking them, rather then having them both pine after each other from the get-go.

There was also too much backstory delivered, but it could be because this is the 7th book in the series, and this was told in other books, Hard to say. This is the first one I've read.

And hopefully handing a phone over to a kid with chocolate on their hands, or letting the same six-year-old into the ICU will be fixed in the editing process.

So, if you love this author, and have read this series, then this is probably something you would continue to love.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for making this book available for an honest review. This book will be coming out the 21st of January 2025.
