The writing is beautiful, the story is heartbreaking - already a book on my "everyone needs to read" list

Premise/setting/all the important things have me hooked...not the biggest fan of the writing, but I am slowly cozying in...this definitely isn't for anyone with a weak stomach - let me tell ya

This found family makes me giddy - Huda and O's relationship makes me giggle - also, can we please protect Cyrus at all costs....<3

i am GIDDY

Okkkkkkk - i am sat

Ok, lot’s of assumptions just going on atm - ready for this to get going

queue the waterworks, THAT EPILOGUE may be the most beautiful and moving thing i have read....

this book is so beautiful - current fav Dewitt book, for sure <3

Ah, this one was quick with the tears

Molly, girl - you are kinda terrible (i mean, i get it..but also....)

Just casually dropping W+A in like that 🥹

The bouquet fabric - the blue tie (that was for those lucky days) ahhhhhh

STAAAAAHHHHP IT!!! I CANNOT with this man.

Why do I just want to give Hudson a hug (as he stands rigid, I am sure) and then go grab coffee with Louisa?! These two <3

I love a good rivalry and so far Campbell and Mattie have the chemistry I want in a book like this. I can't wait to see who Campbell really is vs Mattie's depiction of him due to her insecurities surrounding his success vs hers (at at what she thinks is her expense).

The grumpy rugby player safety stalked our sunshine-y american matchmaker...didn't see that one coming.

He's cocky and knows what he wants, she's stubborn and fearful of the past..(oh and she has a douchey bf) - now they are forced together - I wonder what is going to happen ;)

Interesting set up for this world and our character(s) so far.

...man, book 2 just hasn't kept my attention. The set up from 1 was so good, but then I was quickly able to figure out a few things that I think would have made this second book more impactful - instead I have just been waiting for each thing to happen..and the last bit of this is dragging...

Excuse me, I adore Bennett (his father, and his best mate Rhys) and already feel for Paloma which is saying a lot based on my opinion of her from previous books.

So much world building but finally feeling a little more connected to the characters

Shifting from romance to this type of story takes me awhile to adjust. So far, enjoying the writing, the world feels a little complex but the more insight shared - the more pieces are coming together.

One thing I absolutely love about starting a new series from CC is the fact that I get to meet a new family and community, and Starlight Grove has already won me over (plus I have been DYING for a Dex story). I also absolutely have LOVED the easter eggs from previous series and even a Wild Side wrestling reference :)
