Brody
Clark and Sydney Valentine (Val) return to the small town they’d grown up in
after a decade. Brody has secrets in her past and she had run away from the
powerful Rivers family without as much as a goodbye. Brody had nursed a secret
crush on Val as a teenager and finds herself still drawn to Val. On the other
hand, Val didn’t really register Brody in high school, but is now singularly
fixated on her.
This
book spends a lot (a lot) of time stretching out Brody’s running away making a
mystery of the whole thing and dragging it way too long. The huge supporting cast
of characters of the Rivers Community float in, out and around and are nice
enough.
The
whole attraction and admission of love between the two MCs is very, very fast
but the chemistry is good enough. At best, this book is fine. The MCs are also
fine. Though, everyone else in this book gets totally eclipsed by the
flamboyant Flann. Now, Flann really grabs attention.
Not particularly good, but just a fair bit of easy reading.
⭐⭐☆
