It was hot and sexy, but still romantic and swoony with characters who shared a lot of history. Once I started reading this book, I was hooked. It was addictive, angsty, and romantic!! It checked off a lot of favorite boxes for me: friends-to-lovers, childhood friends, roommates, and even though I’m not usually a fan of love triangles, I actually though that the one that eventually develops in this book was very well written and handled. Penelope Ward has been one of my favorite authors for many years so when this book was released, naturally I had to dive right in. “Every day I’ve felt closer to you… I may not have the past nine years to give you, but I can give you many more to come.”
