Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Zach and Haylee have known each other forever, as their parents are best friends and his sister/her bestie is dating her brother/his best friend. But after Emmett tragically dies, Dani takes off and cuts everyone out, making it a double loss for the families. In their grief, Zach and Haylee help each other heal and turn to one another for support, and a beautiful love is born out of the ashes of their mourning.
I loved that SJ redid scenes that took place in Planned On You, now showing Zach and Haylee’s experiences of scenes with Kyler and Dani. And the grief that both Zach and Haylee feel in Emmett’s death carries over to every milestone in their relationship. He isn’t forgotten, but is like another character in this story. It’s beautifully told, beautifully executed and a wonderful friends to lovers romance.
While it’s not necessary to read Planned On You first, it will definitely provide more background to Zach, Haylee and Dani’s history and connection. It ends on a teeny cliffhanger, teasing a novella that SJ has planned. And I can’t wait for that!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
