Because as much heartache and tears as I’d wasted in my previous life, the happiness I’d found here balanced it. And maybe with time, it would more than make up for it. Maybe one day it would overshadow that period completely."

This book follows one point of view of Aurora De La Torre. Aurora’s previously relationship broke down in divorce which results her to take on some travelling leading Aurora to her hometown. Tobias Rhodes more known as Rhodes becomes Aurora’s landlord and not by choice. His son Amos let her rent out some of their property.THE WHOLE EPILOGUE was freaking cuuuuteee!!!! Amos putting ultrasound pictures in his dorm room!!! Plaaseeekfdsöfjdlka my heart!!! 🥺🥺🥺

aurora may be immature, but man, shes hilarious. i cant remember the last time a book made me blow air out of my nose so much. there are so many interactions that left me highly amused. shes also very kind. so i was able to forgive her immaturity. but heres why those surprisingly worked for me in this case: - i actually really enjoyed that aurora and rhodes become friends first. yes, the romance and pacing is slow, but i appreciated how their friendship developed and then became something more. I know how I want you to feel, but I’m not rushing you. I know how I feel. I haven’t changed my mind about anything, especially not you. I only want you to be sure of what you want.”

What price paradise – review

The best moment in this book is Rhodes and Amos thinking Aurora was leaving after they found out about Kaden and they chase after her. Grief was the final way we had to tell our loved ones that they’d impacted our lives. That we missed them so, so much... I had to live, but I could also remember along the way. The people we lose take a part of us with them… but they leave a part of themselves with us too.” tropes: age-gap (h: 33, H: 42), single parent, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, small-town, sunshine-grumpy Aurora is such a relatable character and so so lovable, she’s nice to everyone and yet lets no one roll over her ou presque👀, she’s a real ray of sunshine, funny and down to earth, so so modest even with how and who she was used to leave and be around. She putted up with a lot and faced a lot of hurt and pain since her teenhood and still managed to be this positive and optimistic, beautiful spirit. She’s clearly an inspirational, strong female character, one of my all times favorite.
