📚ARC Review📚

“Lily, I think… I know. I’ve always loved you. More importantly, you weren’t the problem in those relationships. The problem was they weren’t me.”

🦚ADHD Rep
✨Cinna-Dom MMC
🦚Friends to Lovers
✨Small town
🦚Framily
✨HAE

I enjoyed this play on a small-town romance (despite the town rules making the feminist in me want to rage-quit).

I was thrilled to dive into Lily’s story and follow her journey through her ADHD diagnosis. As a woman in her 30s who also got diagnosed relatively recently, I found significant parts of her story easy to relate to. Here’s to more neurodivergent characters gracing our pages and providing glimpses into our “neurospicy” brains for better representation.

River Hendrix is the MMC I never knew I needed. Seriously, he’s why I signed up for the ARC in the first place 😅. I read “Cinna-Dom” and was sold. Jordana took every lovable quality of a small-town MMC and cranked up the heat. Honestly, even if River were as vanilla as they come, he’d still be perfect. Any man who takes the initiative to research their significant other’s mental health diagnosis just to know how to help is a keeper.

Now, the one thing I did NOT jive with was the resolution to Lily’s predicament with the town. I fully acknowledge it’s a me thing, but I struggled not to rage at the outcome, no matter how cutely it was spun. Hmmm… perhaps I should discuss this with my therapist? 🤔

As always, my stream-of-consciousness reactions:

• Not the dic*tionary 😂
• Belinda and Neal can choke on bran muffins
• Pru is the real MVP and should be the Mayor
• Peacock Springs is… something
• What is wrong with these adults?!
• The bridal shower 💀

“Flying” will be available on June 23rd; you won’t want to miss meeting River… trust me 🔥
