Her home life wasn't the greatest so one kind of takes her under their wing and makes her like part of their family.
She bonds more with one brother because of his friendlier personality. The other is very quiet and socially awkward so he wasn't popular and didn't have gfs or anything, and MC would say that the quiet way she used to catch him observing her made her feel uncomfortable.
Well as they've aged, she starts dating and gets engaged to the more outgoing one(I believe his name is River, but not 100% sure so I'll refer to him as B1 and the other as B2).
The story goes back and forth with past and present a bit. But in the present, they are all grown and she's at their family mansion, planning her wedding. I believe I remember her walking down the staircase for the actual ceremony.
Then they hold the reception outside, and again she feels uncomfortable with B2's staring.
Her and B1 go on their honeymoon, traveling to different destinations until they are camping in maybe the Amazon, and he decides he wants to go with the guide to explore a bit more while she waits behind. The guide comes back, but her husband lost his footing and fell into a fast moving waterfall/river. They search and search but can't find him so she eventually has to return home and wait. After more searching with no luck, he is presumed dead..
After a couple year time jump, her and B2(who is the main love interest, but I can't remember his name either) start hanging out more.
I think when he confesses his feelings, she gets upset and takes a walk through a park to process.
He finally talks her back to his car, and they start sharing, mostly about what he's been doing since graduation.
He used to spend time rebuilding the car he now drives because it helped him relax and get out of his own head for a while..
He was estranged from the rest of the family, so his wealth was self made and came from developing a tech company, or maybe something technical to do with cars..
B2 stood out to me though because he has autism(maybe Asperger's) or something similar, and was always the quieter, more calculated twin, who had behavioral problems, and admired MC from afar.
I liked how the author represented his character and dove into detail a bit more about his mannerisms and why he responds to people the way he does. I also liked that he was so matter of fact and spoke what he thought because that's just how his brain works.
She preferred when they stayed at her house because she was a little less tidy and felt overwhelmed by how spotless and organized his place always was.
In her room, she kept a keepsake box of things that reminded her of B1. Even recalling times they made love and missing his bubbly personality. But B2 was always very understanding of her needing more time to mourn.
If it helps more at all, I don't remember exactly what the MCs job was, but I know she had a small office and a desk in one of my favorite scenes in the books 😏.
She was also never with both brothers at the same time. Just started the book with B1 and ended the story with B2.. Thank you 💕
