This was a light hearted, cozy, romance read which I enjoyed. I loved how Lyra and Guy met and fell in love and in doing so changed each other. Fate brought them together. I also enjoyed the character development through the story and the different POVs which made the book interesting. However, I didn’t like repeated use of the f word, it’s unnecessary and honestly put me off reading the rest of the book. I also found the book to be a bit cringy and unrealistic at times but overall an enjoyable read.
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions expressed are my own.

I’ve not read anything by Laura before, but I suspect that this won’t be the last. I like character driven books and this certainly was that. Great storytelling, fab characters, highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the book overall, I think the author did well with pacing and development of the relationship between Lyra and Guy. Sometimes it can be difficult to make second-chance stories not feel sappy but I think Carter finds a solid footing in having allowed the characters to have learned from the past while still being flawed, realistic people.

It has similar vibes to Forget Me Not and Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto (mostly the wedding setting probably, but still) so if you liked those this is likely a good title to give a chance.

I did think some of the dialogue felt stilted at times, but that's likely just a personal issue more than it is a book issue so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Honestly, I think this book would make a really adorable movie more than anything. The entire setting and plot would be perfect for a summer romcom.

If you like well paced, romantic, second chance, sweet stories this is one you'll want to give a chance sooner rather than later.

Four stars!

I loved the idea of the red string theory between the two main characters and how they’d run into each other years before and the universe bought them back together. I loved the character development and the way they also have a lot of issues within themselves they also resolve.

There were a lot of times where I kinda just wanted to shake the two main characters and tell them they’re being ridiculous and to just let themselves be happy but overall a good read!

Thanks for the opportunity to read this book!

I absolutely loved this book. Love how they first 'met' at a concert of him and how both their lives changed at that moment. I love how it really feels like fate threw them together from the moment they met. It was a fun book to read and see how they fell for each other. And for her to see him how he is and not as a rock star. They changed each other for the better.
4,5 stars
