𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 & 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨:

This story pulled me in from the very first chapter. The banter and charming setting gave me Leap Year vibes. A broody, stubborn Irishman has his world turned upside down by an opinionated American redhead.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙:

❥ Cozy rainy-day vibes, old-town charm, bookshop, and coffee… I wanted to pack my bags and move there immediately.

❥ The characters are so lovable, and the author does an amazing job building a cozy heartfelt, close-knit small-town atmosphere.

❥ The slow burn, tension and romance caused so many squeals and tingles.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚:

❥ Emily occasionally gave off that stereotypical “opinionated American abroad” energy, and I struggled to understand why everyone instantly adored her. My personal observations/experience in Europe has been quite different. Talking and living with Europeans they shared with me that most of them don't like American at first. Especially ones that act like her.

❥ I wish the tension between Emily and Keiran had lasted a bit longer, they got together a little too quickly for my liking.
