i love lynn painter's extra chapters, they give me life. do i think a year into dating for marriage is too soon? absolutely. but they've known each other pretty much their whole lives so i guess that's fine.

This 1000% makes me want to do a quick re-read of MWN now 🥹 it was the first Lynn Painter book I read and it will always hold a special place in my heart!
Love this little snippet back into Colin and Olivia’s world and now I want more!!
