Chloe Walsh continuously brakes the rules of romance books and makes it work, she is one of the only authors that can write a love interest who is a complete man-whore and make it work, as well as the only author to write the main couple not ending up together and it works, Yes I know there is a sequle but it could easily be a standalone.
At the same time there are so many endings that could work that you don't know what is going to happen, Tegan could have gone home over valentines day and Noah could have died, Noah could have ran away with Tegan, Tegan could have never forgiven him for his step-sisters actions.

First Book of 2025!!
I understood the hype around the first book but this one less so, not that this was a bad book at all I think it was well written and the plots were well fleshed out considering the book is under 300 pages.
But Jenny Han killing off one of the few likeable characters and making Belly and Jeremiah both unlikable. Authough Laurel became a lot better this book and her love for belly was a lot clearer, her moment of realising she hadn't been there when her daughter needed her is something I think a lot of people wish their mothers had.
Fuck you Taylor,

Okay so this is the third in a series have I read the other 2? no do I have the other 2? yes, But here we are I wanted to read this before Christmas but hey we got there in the end.
Honestly should have been a bit shorter there is no need for a cozy holiday romance to be over 300 pages, because that is all this is a cute easy read

Forever We Fall by Chloe Walsh

there was 0 reason for this book, I said this in my review for book 3, but you know what about 50% in all the plots had been closed out nicely would have been perfect place to end, instead nope we have half the book left, I would be fine with this is it were a standalone. but this is the 4th book in a series to suddenly add 2 new plots that would have normally taken a whole book and a half in the rest of this series is pathetic.
I read this series to read the Carter kids series and I do plan on reading it at some point but this book/series has put me off chole Walsh's other books.
