These two were so sweet. I think it’s the small town feel with a lot of history that makes me almost feel nostalgic about a book I’ve never even read before.
Cal was really about to ruin it for me but luckily he started redeeming himself. If I’ve learned anything from reading other duets… you gotta stick with it and ride out the hard times. It’s usually worth it.
Tropes:
Childhood Friends to Lovers
Workplace Romance
Spice: 🌶️
Moderate: Child death
