This book is the perfect blend of small-town vibes and high-stakes tension.
Why you need to read this:
- An FMC with ADHD and zero filter? I felt so seen
- A blue-collar, nerdy-but-hot MMC. Yes, please.
- Loved the tatted and pierced FMC—she’s a total badass.
The chemistry between the leads was top-tier. Stephanie really knows how to write characters that feel like real people you want to grab a drink with.
