This book really had me kinda frustrated till the end, but I totally understand where it was coming from! 😮‍💨 Shilo and Ryann’s love story took quite some time but in the end it was worth the wait. I really enjoyed this book because it deals with quite a few heavy but super important topics and the way Bree Wiley portrays that was absolutely fascinating! “Shilo’s battle with self-image has been a central part of his story, the way he struggles to accept himself is something I know resonates with so many of us. And then there’s Ryann, whose relentless drive to meet his father’s expectations caused him to lose sight of his own dreams. His struggle to let go of that pressure and reclaim his own path is about learning to live for yourself.” - Afterword from Pretty Broken Doll by Bree Wiley This book is for all the people who like age gap and workplace romances with lots of emotions and a good amount of spice! ❤️ (PS: I loved the unexpected guest appearance of Huckslee and Taylor from “Finding Delaware” - I see what you did there, Bree 😉)

I loved every second of this book. Yes, I was sad when it was over because I could have easily kept reading. The characters were so well described, especially Shilo, you can't resist. Such a lovable personality, I just want to hug him ❤️. But Ryann is also a great man, it's nice to see how his feelings for Shilo develop and how lovingly he looks after him. The spice is also really good, I enjoyed reading it. Bree Wiley writes exactly to my taste. Her first book "Finding Delaware" is also one of my favorites of 2024.
