Harlow Shaw feels naïve for believing in happily ever afters, but she craves a love that lights her up.

She thinks she has it all with her boyfriend—Until his promising baseball career overshadows their relationship, and he asks her a life-changing question. It causes her to wonder if what they have is all she ever truly wanted. Harlow is yearning for more than the curated life she is living.

A trip to Bali, a move to Seattle, and an alleged burned cup of coffee lead her to a friendship she didn't know she needed and a love so deep she can feel it in her bones.

Loved how this story was a build up.

Ace & Harlow are a true depiction of what a couple is.
Ace saw Harlow and knew he wanted her. The way they built a friendship based off of coffee and sarcasm is so real.
I love how this book covers grief, letting go, growth, loneliness, friendship, new beginnings and saying no.

Harlow is Acelyn’s sunshine and through this read we see the growth of Acelyn and Harlow’s character.

Sunshine & Ace-depiction of what we want

I loved the way this writer developed Harlow and asyn’s “friendship.” It seemed genuine and sweet. Some parts of the book are honestly too good to be true, but it’s okay, I can be a little delusional 🫶🏽 like her dad??? No way was he THAT understanding

Laughed, learned and loved this!

I loved this book. It was cute, funny, relatable. I almost made the mistake of passing up on the audiobook and just reading the physical copy. I’m so glad I listened to the audiobook because I love love love iiKane and Winston James together in a book. Their voices are smooth, silky and sultry. And overall, it was just refreshing reading a book that wasn’t toxic.

Loved it!
