When We Were Younger completely wrecked me in the best way. I am OBSESSED with Dottie and Stephen and their love story. I adored how we went from past to present and got to see the parallels between those moments. It was the cutest second chance romance!
The love between these characters is so beautiful, and I love the added trope of found family for Dottie. While she has the gift of Stephen’s family, she also has the beautiful friendships with her girls that carry her through. It really speaks to the power of healthy female friendship and how it helps every aspect of a woman’s life.
I’m a huge fan of the beautiful character development that Emily Shacklette does. Dottie and Stephen are surrounded by a plethora of characters that all manage to be completely unique and interesting. I’m dying to go back and read Georgia and Rachel’s stories now, and I cannot wait for Kira’s book If I Catch You next spring.
I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
