I was laughing SO hard at the first chapter 😂😂 Poor Alyssa!
I loved this one so, so much! After reading the earlier books in the series, I couldn’t wait to finally get Alyssa and Austin’s story, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint❤️
Watching Austin slowly realize his feelings for Alyssa was one of my favorite parts🥹 He was the BIGGEST green flag, and the way he cared for her was just so incredibly sweet. I absolutely adored him!
And Alyssa!! I loved her personality so much and her outfits were always amazing!! She had me laughing from the very beginning, and she has easily become one of my favorite characters in the series🥰
Their relationship gave me ALL the feels. I loved watching their friendship turn into something more, especially after getting little glimpses of them throughout the previous books. There’s something extra satisfying about finally getting the story you’ve been waiting for and having it live up to the anticipation😭❤️
Honestly, I just loved everything about this book. The humor, the characters, the romance, the friendships, ALL OF IT🥹😍 Such an amazing addition to the series!

BLURB: I hit it out of the park in the friend department. The dating department? Not so much.
After a series of horrible first dates, I’m convinced it’s time to give up on my search for love. But when my best friends convince me to try out a list of twenty questions to fall in love, I decide to give it a shot.
I go on a date and test out the questionnaire, but it seems the only answers I get are the ones leading me back to my friend, Austin Bradford, who also happens to be the star shortstop for the Louisville Mustangs.
Despite all my desperate attempts to convince my best friends otherwise, I’ve had feelings for Austin since we met three years ago. Which also happened to be the same night he friendzoned me.
When I have to attend my cousin’s destination wedding—who, might I add, is marrying my jerk of an ex-boyfriend—Austin insists on going with me. I tell myself it will be fine, just a friendly vacation. Maybe I can even bury all my feelings for him on the beach.
Except, the time I spend with Austin has me questioning if the heated looks he’s sending my way are real, or if the Caribbean sun is making me hallucinate.
I wish he would give me a clear sign, because I refuse to put my heart on the line and risk our friendship without knowing if our love story will be a grand slam or a strikeout.
