Brief Summary: Caroline hasn’t been interested in relationships in years, choosing to keep things casual instead. That all changes when her best friend’s son makes it clear that he’s interested in her.

The Praise: I loved Somewhere to Stay (it was one of my favorite books of 2024) so I’ve been dying for Caroline and Ryder’s story. The characters in this series are so lovable and relatable. I was so happy to get little glimpses of Natalie and Theo as well! This book was also super steamy.

The Critique: There wasn’t a whole lot going on for Ryder and Caroline outside of each other, which made the story move a little slowly, in my opinion.
I also don’t love when a book’s epilogue isn’t centered around the main couple.

The Critique(cont): To me, epilogues are a chance for me to see the couple once they’re settled in together and being domestic or whatever the story calls for, not for setting up the next book. I would’ve loved it if Grace had included Addison’s POV in a bonus chapter rather than using the epilogue.

Final Thoughts: I loved Ryder and Caroline together. And even with my thoughts on the use of the epilogue, I’m already dying for Addison’s story after just that one chapter.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to Grace Turner!
