Book Review: If Only I Had Told Her

You guyssss! I randomly decided to read if he had been with me two weeks ago and zoomed through it in two days without knowing there was a second on the way! Obviously I had to grab it to read Finnys - I’m half way through and right now I’m preferring the first over this. Thoughts? 📖🥀 #Lemon8Di
