Review:
I loved this! Gave me the vibe of the practical magic story but with a bit more romance.
Romina is healing from her last relationship that went bad, she was involved with a single father, and being with the single father she was raising his daughter. However, when Romina finally had her last straw with Spencer she ended the relationship but he used his daughter as a weapon and never let her see the daughter again even though Romina had been the one raising her. Romina also has a dream of being a mother, that is one of her goals that she wants to do. Well imagine her surprise when her friend’s father is coming to town to get married but the father is marrying her high school sweetheart’s mother.
Back in high school, Alex had broken her heard when he went to college and they broke up, and Romina still has all the feelings when she sees him again. While trying to aid with the wedding and then trying to fake date one of her guy friends she is trying to put space between her and Alex. However, she loves him and she knows she does. Eventually, they begin talking and then its a push and pull with them for a while and secrets start to come out and Romina realizes she still loves him. However, at the wedding, more surprises are unfolding. Will they be able to forgive one another and start dating? You should check this one out to see how the story unfolds!
This one was a quick read that was interesting and engaging. The only issue I had was Romina was her going back and forth with her feelings and her desire to protect herself from getting hurt, Alex definitely has more patience than I would. A good story that touches home to a lot of people and I would recommend it! Thank you Netgalley and G. P. Putmans & Son for the opportunity to read and review this one! So Good! 😊
