June was someone we all need in our life, alongside Pez. A beautiful feeling arose throughout the book as I saw the family and the omnipresent feeling of hope through friends. This was an enemies to lovers romance with so much more going for it.

He thinks about Henry, and something twists in his chest, like a stretch he’s been avoiding for too long.” There is quite a lot of politics involved, quite a lot of drunkedness and quite a lot of soft moments that make you clutch your kindle slightly tighter.
