I would probably give this closer to 3.5 ⭐️
Ollie was definitely my absolute favorite part of this story. His Dad, Brance, was a legit jerk for most of this book. In fact, there were times when I wished the heroine, Braelyn, would just give up on him!! But, she immediately cared for Ollie and decided to always be his friend. Seriously, she was so sweet and so very broken. Brance was equally damaged and weary of connecting with anyone, especially the owner or Ollie’s most favorite place, Thicket. They just needed a reason to work through their issues. And Ollie may have even attempted to play matchmaker a little. This story was narrated by Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer, who are always a really fun and amazing duo.
