But the closer they get, the more the past refuses to stay buried. Secrets, betrayals, and a legacy Atlas never asked for threaten to tear them apart.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh, Gemini!! was such a sweet surprise — a small-town, slow-burn romance with that perfect mix of heartache and hope. I loved the cozy beach town vibes, the found family moments, and the chemistry between Holland and Atlas (grumpy x sunshine perfection).
There were a few slower moments, but honestly, it fit the story’s mood — quiet, healing, and a little messy in the best way. It’s not a whirlwind romance, but one that unfolds gently, like the tide coming in. By the end, I found myself really rooting for these two and the life they were building in Saltmere.
It’s heartfelt, coastal, and quietly romantic — like a cup of coffee on a foggy morning by the sea.
✨ Tropes: small coastal town • journalist x boatbuilder • grumpy x sunshine • fake dating • found family

⭐️ “It’s consuming, the way I want you, Holland.”
ahh this book was too cute!! i loved all the coastal vibes perfectly balanced with elements of grief and moving on. the quotes in this book were so beautiful and i kept rereading them to get them engraved in my brain.
a little less of a slowburn but i still loved atlas and holland’s relationship so much! the way he waits for her and moves at her own pace is so wholesome.
amazing debut!!

“You don’t have to apologize for showing emotion. Not to me.”
If you haven’t read Oh, Gemini what are you waiting for! I absolutely LOVE a fake dating story && it’s set in a small coastal town?!Holland and Atlas have a slow burn connection but it’s filled with chemistry and understanding. They are able to meet each other where they are at in their own lives. Grief is also a topic that comes up within the story, I think the author does a great job at addressing this with both characters. I also loved all of the townsfolk’s/neighbors we get to meet along the way in Saltmere.
Riley is gearing up for the release of Oh, Honey. Book two in this series coming April 28th! So get a head start so you don’t miss out ☀️
