I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been waiting for me to read it for like 10 years!! I don't know how it got lost in the shuffle, but since I used to have 1400 books on my kindle, it probably wasn't hard.

I really enjoyed Jos and Dusty's story. These two really tried to fight their attraction for one another for practically the whole book, which was a bit amusing, but also annoying to be honest. They kept secrets about their past from each other, which was also a bit frustrating. And then when they started bringing up their pasts, they both sort of freaked out before everything was out in the open. They are definitely rough around the edges, but I'm hoping that now that they know everything, things can only go up from here.

Renee was seriously so overbearing and controlling, if I were Jos, I would have seriously ran away and started over. I could not handle a person like that in my life and acting like a second mother - only worse. Way worse. I know she was doing what she could to help, but that was way way too much for me to handle.

I love Hannah. I would love to see if she ever got her own book, but if she ended up with who I think she did, I'm not sure it would be a story I'd be interested in. But I love her personality, her view on life, and her no nonsense attitude. She went through something horrendous and yet she is still living her life to the fullest and I just love that about her!

I'm glad I finally got around to reading this novel and I will have to play catch up to read more by this author!

Jos costumava ser a garota perfeita, com o namoro perfeito, a faculdade perfeita, os desejos de vida perfeitos. Até que um dia tudo mudou e ela parou de ser a perfeitinha de sempre, agradando a todos. Agora, nove meses depois, ela está mudando de faculdade e sendo obrigada a ir morar na casa que a irmã mais velha vive com os amigos de faculdade. Só que sua irmã está de olho em todos os seus passos, sem deixar Jos sair dos trilhos novamente.

É em meio ao caos que ainda é sua vida que ela conhece Dusty. De cara ele parece determinado a se aproximar dela, que não quer ficar junto de ninguém. Aos poucos o relacionamento deles começa a ficar mais e mais intenso, e mais complicado também. Ambos têm segredos que não querem revelar.

M Sweetest Escape traz de volta vários personagens de My Favorite Mistake, o primeiro livro da série; mas o protagonismo é de um casal completamente diferente, com uma história completamente diferente.

A escrita da autora é viciante e fica difícil parar de ler. A história segue alguns clichês de romance, mas a leitura não deixa de ser muito agradável por conta disso. Na verdade são os clichês que transformam a história em algo interessante.

Os personagens principais muitas vezes me irritam, mas fica difícil não se afeiçoar a eles e ao sentimento novo que surge entre os dois.

O livro é muito bonitinho e te deixa satisfeito após a leitura.
