beautiful! the storyline and the characters were so wonderful and funny. i loved the dynamics between nora and west! really really good book!!
6 stars. every star possible for being incredible. I'm not going to go into detail on everything that was beautiful and amazing in this because I'll end up writing an essay over every chapter. I wouldn't change a single thing about anything. normally, I would be saying that I would have liked a bit more suspense and the danger element buut I was actually very satisfied with everything about it. I loved the communication between them and the trust that slowly built. I love West. I love Nora so so much. my girl. my heart broke at the final chapters only to be put back together in the best way. the confessions were beautiful and had me teared eyed. the way that they both cared for each other and the way they spoke to each other and about each other. everything. absolutely everything and I can't wait for paige to put rafe through it in the second book. I found a new book to join my all-time favorites. the spicy scenes were done so well and all felt so meaningful. the patience. I'm obsessed with how open they were with each other and authentically themselves. his reassurance that he would never get angry with her and that he actually never did. he always wanted to hear her honest opinion and fears and anger no matter what. AND he created a safe space for her to do that. to be that with each other. the jealousy was done so well and how real it was throughout the whole book, even if they tried to lie to themselves. they both knew it and I think they fell in love much earlier than they realized. by vivienne's party, in my interpretation, they were already halfway there. also, the way that he made her keep him to high standards that they had talked about for others. he didn't want her to settle for him. no. he wanted her to set even higher standards for him to reach because he didn't think he deserved her. he made her demand those things of him. the open way that they talked during the card game and the way that he also offered those pieces of himself to her so freely and honestly. he helped her feel more comfortable in herself and her wants and desires and her demands. he bought her the toys and encouraged her without ever wanting anything really in return. he yearned. I fully believe he would have lost fairhaven for her (which is a place I also loved and the cat) but she never would let him and they married out of pure love. they are obsessed with each other and I'm obsessed with them. it is a very long book in 500 pages but i would have gladly and easily read 500 more about them. their wedding in every detail possible and their night. their honeymoon. anything and everything. not for one second did I want to complain for it to be shorter. I was sad when I realized I was close to it being over. and I'll be rereading at some point because I just love nora and west that much. I wrote the essay anyway. Merry Christmas!!🥰❤️
