This is my first Carley Fortune book but it won’t be my last.
It started off slow with nothing interesting but about 30% in the book, it picks up quite a bit. Halfway through the book, it gets fun and exciting!
I love her growing friendship with Sam. I loved reading about them growing together throughout the years. I couldn’t stop smiling, it was quite a read.
Now I’m wanting to read more from this author. Thank you, Carley Fortune, for this beautiful piece of art.
