Cherry on Top was a super sweet and adorable read!
Enzo and Will had me smiling and giggling through their story, and I loved their over the top romantic fake dates. Enzo’s mum drove me a little insane with her incessant meddling, and I could fully understand why Enzo and Will decided to fake a few dates just to get her to back off. The tension sizzling between them was very real though, and it was endearing to see how they were both unsure about each other’s feelings and hesitant to cross any lines. It took them a while to get to the same page, but once they acted on all the built up tension between them… so worth it!
I really enjoyed the fake relationship and how Enzo and Will handled things once things went a little too far. Will was an absolute sweetheart and while Enzo came off as a little prickly at first, it was obvious how much he cared for Will and I loved the affection between them. It was great to see how well he understood and supported Will, especially when it came to standing up to his parents.
Cherry on Top was a low angst read, with a bit of a slow burn feeling to it. I loved Indigo Bay, the small town feeling was on point and I was definitely craving ice cream while reading – Will’s creations sounded so tasty!
