I bought this book because the western cover and the introduction on the back caught my attention. It sounded promising at first, but the writing let me down. The style feels simplistic, almost childish, with the word “fu*king” appearing on nearly every page. The scenes felt rushed, and I would have loved more depth—especially when it came to Ada’s past and her project. The writing is very easy to follow, so much so that I finished it in three hours. The plot is cute, and it’s a sweet comfort book you can casually enjoy. But it left me wanting more. The emotions, particularly between Ada and Weston, were underwhelming. Instead of pulling me into their minds and hearts, the story just described them. It felt flat. There isn’t much of a plot, to begin with, and what’s there feels rushed and predictable. That said, I did like the setting: a cowboy and city girl in Wyoming at the Blue Rebel Ranch. It’s a vibe. There’s potential here, but the writing style didn’t work for me—it stayed on the surface. It lacked depth, and the constant mentions of brands and trendy social media references didn’t help. While those things might appeal to some, I was looking for an escape. I wanted to feel like I was right there in Wyoming, immersed in ranch life, watching Ada leave the city behind and embrace change. But that never really came through. The characters didn’t develop much either. Ada’s transition to ranch life wasn’t fleshed out, and Weston didn’t feel layered or compelling. It all just skimmed the surface. I can’t rate this more than 2 stars—one for the country vibe and one for the characters. In terms of writing, plot, and development, it needs improvement. Overall, if you’re in the mood for a light, kitschy read with surface-level romance—something that feels like your typical TikTok book—this might work for you. It’s sweet and easy to get through, but it didn’t deliver the depth or escapism I was hoping for.

loved it!
