Thank you so much to Berkley Romance, NetGalley and Chloe Liese for giving me an eARC of this book.
I’m such a Chloe fan and though I’m new to the world of the Wilmot sisters, I am so tremendously excited to read the other books if they’re anything like this one. I have no proper words to express how much I revelled in this love story. As a chronically ill young woman who has often worried about feeling like too much and undesirable, these tender stories remind me that disability doesn’t exclude us from a love that feels safe, tender and worth the inconveniences.
I love the juxtaposition of someone so bubbly and outspoken like Juliet with someone so quiet and pensive like Will as he tries to get out of his shell and be the man for her. Major swooning. Also sue me but I’m soooo glad thatthere was a HEA because I really didn’t need any miscommunication or third act breakups. I just wanted to escape and I’m glad I did.
I was up at 3 am reading and giggling, and I’m ASEXUAL! Chloe did her big one, as usual.
