Yay!It’s definitely UF. Starting with book 3, maybe, there are a couple relationships, but nothing close to PNR level, more character and character family growth related.
I’m so excited for the push to re-read this one. 😁

I know. I’m too soft hearted, esp ‘round Christmas. Should’ve done 1.5⭐️
That one sounds good. I’ve added it to my KU TBR list @ Amz.

My Review:
I wanted to like this snarky girl and her left-ya-behind-for-NYC guy, but sadly didn't. While I thought her holiday meme was quite funny, to send it to not just her company but all of their clients as well and then believe she's being called into her boss' office for a promotion had me shaking my head. Maybe I'm too old to see the humor in that one. But, I continued on.
Our FMC left home for NYC to pursue her dream. She left behind her HS boyfriend who "was everything to [her]" and "...having to walk away from that left one hell of a scar on [her] heart.", yet she doesn't even ask him if he'd go with? And, she had to walk away? 🤔
She returns and, as the blurb states, "[She has] one goal and one goal only—get in and out of Blushing before Nick realizes [she's there]. Only avoiding him is much harder than [she] could have anticipated." Blushing is a small town where everyone knew them as a long-time couple, some even thought they remained one dispite their distance apart and yet she imagined being able to refab and sell her grandma's house without Nick finding out? 🤔 But, I continued on.
She grew up in Blushing, CO but can't/won't/doesn't dress for or prepare for the weather? So, said broken-hearted-ExBF is "forced" to save you while trying to claim you're able to take care of yourself? 🤔
“Walking away from you was the biggest mistake of my life, and I regret it every fucking day,” yet she never asked him to go with, she never reached out afterward 🤔
“The thought of getting to be in the same damn room as you is the only reason I haven’t hightailed it back to New York yet,” yet she dives under counters to try to avoid being seen by him 🤔
Then, flipflopping to “... if I knew you hadn’t matured any further than the twenty-three-year-old asshole I left behind ...” and “... until now, I thought I was content in that decision.” 🙄
By that point I was so close to the end I just continued on. Too many conflicting responses to their seperation by both characters and not in the "I'm conflicted about how I feel" way, but in the "author couldn't seem to decide how the characters felt and decided to play both sides throughout" way. Made me dizzy with frustration. In the end, they got their HEA, so all's well that ends. 😆
👍🏼😊
Absolutely :)
