Emelia had the scare of her life during that storm, luckily Elliott was close-by to help her out. Offering a place to stay which has his daughter Baylor almost screaming in delight.

Loving the small town feel that Echo Lake oozes a mile a minute 🌅, and the characters it houses like dotty, the thermos crew and Elliott’s family.

Even more when seeing grumpy Elliott catching feels and laughing with Em

Is it the big age gap or the fact he is her godfather or both which feels a bit cringy ?!

Amelia has a life long crush on Matis, and when she is with him it doesn’t feel wrong. Even less when his presence seems to ease her, makes her feel more comfortable.

Seeing him struggle with his feelings for her somehow makes it less cringe for me somehow. Don’t know why 🤷🏻‍♀️

these 2 really can't stay away from each other 🥰.
Trevor feels so protective over Maren, and it's nice to see how quick he forms a bond Zara who really is the social butterfly of their group.
Or how him not being outside her door makes her miss him, since him keeping watch makes her feel safe, secure and somehow shares her load/burden.

Disney cuteness 🤭

Trevor and Maren are an explosive duo together. Bickering constantly, she feels like he wants to annoy him, while he becomes more and more obsessed with finding out more about her.

Kinda like that eventhough she works for him, she is not afraid to speak her mind. Curious to see all the ways Trevor finds to get closer to Maren

Nice to see him change from Grumpy-stoic to just grumpy because of her presence. My heart fell when he (finally) took a little bit of time for his daughter 😊

love their connection, and how quick he became a protective girl dad

quite the intriguing read ... Sara has me turning pages to learn what happened to Em, and why Jack doesn't allow Bea to speak french at home. Or what happened with the letter that Camille found in the blue book of her small town 2nd-hand bookstore.

These 2 are so cute together .. easy flowing conversation, him protective of her, her trusting him, and both competitive when it comes to sports 🥰

Pfff Shelly is not my favourite person right now 😒

Gus is quite the cheeky chappy 😆. Especially after Jory’s protective side came out at the bar, and has the rumour-mill around town working overtime. Rugby guy & Pickleball girl give off such great chemistry ✨ even the girl chat 💬 has noticed during church 🤭

Kinda like how they are ending up together every time. Be it in the arena, during the river floating or when going to a restaurant … this gets them glimpses into eachothers live to turn the ‘hate’ into something more🤭

Markie’s back & forth with Gus at the farmer’s market was so much fun. He’s kind of a smooth talker for his age, with the confidence to “butter up” Markie before his dad swoops ik with his opening line 🤭☺️.

Great banter, promising chemistry and the pickleball tournament rivalry in Sugar Creek … this promises to be an awesome read 🤗

Ooh boy, these dad antics are the Briar U bromance vibes we all want in a 2nd gen book 🤭. From the badminton tournament to the dad chats 💬, and even they way they fight make-up and somehow seem to involve the full off campus / briar u found family 🤳

Darlie the lake ghost is bringing out the research nerd in Blake. While Blake’s hair is bringing on the music inspo for Wyatt … or perhaps its being near Freckles that gets him in that trance.

LOL these group chats 💬 are to die for. And with the competitiveness of our Briar OGs, we get the joy of reading more than just Dad Chat 🤗. Hello family chats and the Golden Boys !!

They fell into being a little family so easily with baby Tommy’s arrival.

Already kinda dreading what bad thing might befall Savannah next 🥺

Strong, protective, caring and compassionate only for her … Griffin is definitely a man written by a women

Ending summer with these 2nd gen. Briar U characters at the lake. ‘Cuz ofcourse the Graham’s & Logan’s have a big vacation lake house @Tahoe 🌅

Blake finally leaving Isaac behind her, now trying to find herself seems to interfere with Wyatt his search for music inspiration.
Glad she has some snarky replies for his a*hole comments. This is going to interesting 🤭

Grumpy Griff and his sweet baker 🧁🍪🥧 … I’m feeling just as intrigued and enthralled as he proofs to be with Savannah ☺️🥰

Finally catching up with Griffin's book in audio format 🎧

new town baker Savannah is getting more help from the small town kindness that is Whispers than she hoped for. Kinda nice of Tanner to nudge Griffin in the bakeries direction. And he didn't even need to encourage him much to start the "smal project" asap
