If I could give this book more than 5 stars I totally would! I cannot believe that this is Nicole’s debut novel because it is flawless!

This so much more than a simple romcom novel! This book covers such deep emotions, themes, and yet it is woven together perfectly with light hearted moments. I truly feel as if I have taken a journey with all the characters and have been with them when they hit their lowest points and their highest.

I absolutely adore Deke! He is such a stand up guy who cherishes his family deeply. I love that he gives Samantha a nickname and loves to press her buttons. But I also love that he honors and respects her. He challenges her, but at the same time is patient with what she needs. If you are struggling with self doubt, hardships and or need a someone to rely on, a guy like Deke is who you need.

I also love Samantha. I love her for the journey of self discovery we go on with her. I love that we get to see her as her walls come down and she finds what brings her true joy in life. She is someone who you just want to be your friend because you know she will care about you.

I love all the interactions between Deke and Samantha. From the moments that are truly embarrassing laugh out loud, to the ones that just make your heart warm and of course the ones that make you swoon. I cannot get enough of these two!

The secondary characters are also amazing! Nicole makes you love each and every person because they all have depth. She makes you feel emotions for them and she totally made my both laugh out loud and cry real tears.

This is a book I know I will not stop raving about. It is amazing through and through! Do yourself a favor and read this book as soon as it releases! It got me out of a reading slump and I could not put it down!
