I have wanted to pick up this series for a while now because I kept seeing Right Man, Right Time all over the place when it first came out. But it wasn't until I saw that Quinn would be at the Sweetgrass Author event that I finally pushed myself to pick up the first book. I really loved seeing all of the fun banter in this one. I could not get enough of all of these characters! Since this is the first book in the series, we spent a lot of time meeting and spending time with them all. It was just so much fun, and it gave a lot of Bromance vibes. I love the Bromance series, and the biggest reason is the book club and seeing the guys helping their bro win the girl; in this one, we see that a lot when they try to help Pacey get Winnie. They were just a lot of fun to see.
I did love that Winnie didn't just forgive Pacey in the end and that he had to really work to make things right, even though the reason they split was a bit of a mess. There needed to be more there than just walking away from each other or something bigger instead of it. Lastly, this book is thick! I usually read books between the 250-350 range, so whenever we hit the 400+, things get insane for me, and books are either amazing or a drag. This one felt like it was a short time. Everything flowed nicely together, and I liked seeing everything play out even though we had a third-act breakup.
