Amazing read!!

"I loved this book!"

Rebecca (5/5)

Amazing book, so relatable and real!

"I’m obsessed. This isn’t usually the type of romance novel I lean towards and I am a full on friends-to-lovers HATER. But Brooke wrote Phoebe so incredibly that I’ve never related to a book character more in my life. The interactions were real and honest and it genuinely felt like a real life story. I can’t wait to read anything and everything else Brooke writes."
