This one was a solid but slightly uneven read for me. I really enjoyed returning to the Bellinger Sisters world and spending more time with Fox, who had depth and vulnerability that felt genuine. His emotional arc was the strongest part of the book and kept me engaged even when the story slowed.
Hannah, however, didn’t always work for me as a lead. At times her self doubt felt repetitive, which made the romance drag instead of simmer. The slow burn was intentional, but it leaned a little too heavy on internal hesitation rather than forward momentum.
That said, Tessa Bailey still shines when it comes to dialogue and chemistry. When the characters finally connect, those moments feel earned and emotionally satisfying. The friend group, town setting, and underlying themes of self worth added warmth to the story, even if the pacing didn’t always cooperate.
Overall, this was a decent follow up that just didn’t hit the same high notes as the first book for me.
★★★
