I'm not going to rate this rn, and idk if I will. I always try to rate things from an unbiased standpoint. I know that's impossible, but I try. I try not to rate a book based on what I call a ME problem vs. a book problem. In this case, all the issues with religion are more of a me problem. Because I'm a religious person who goes to church and constantly seeing the church portrayed like this grates on my nerves. I know OBVIOUSLY this happens, so it's not unrealistic by any means, but it did hinder my personal enjoyment of the book. So I feel bad lowering the rating when this is a ME thing.

(Just saying I've been to church hundreds if not a thousand times, and I have never listened to anyone there talk about homosexuality and say it's a sin. In fact, the only time I can ever recall a priest talking about homosexuality was to say that God says we love everyone and it's not for us to judge anyone. JUST SAYING.)

But otherwise I did really enjoy it. I love friends to lovers. I love this second chance romance. I thought it was fun. Don't think I liked it as much as the first one, but honestly I just wanted to give poor sweet Rowan a hug. But yeah, enjoyed it! Wondering if we're going to get a book three about Leon...
