I love Hannah and Fox as main characters, I wanted more of them in the first book and this didn't disappoint. I love their shared journey, and I love how positive and observant Hannah is and how hard Fox is trying to move past his emotional blockages for both himself and for Hannah.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Cursing and Sexual content
Minor: Toxic relationship, Death of parent, and Alcohol
As with most Tessa Bailey books, this is very spicy and during the spice there is cursing. Like the first book mentions, Hannah and her sister own a bar so alcohol does come up. The rest of the content warning does require slight spoilers: In college Fox does think he's in a serious relationship, only to find out the girl he's dating saw him as a free pass while she dated her real boyfriend. This seriously messed up Fox's view of himself and was a toxic first relationship to be in. Fox had been considered a womanizer due to his father's actions and everyone's assumptions about how his son would turn out. This meant that Fox's life revolved around sex from a young age and even after his father's death this was perpetuated by his mother, his friends, and the other locals.
