My Review: 4 ā
Rigel and Tamsin have been best friends for 20 years and this is a classic case of not knowing what’s right in front of you until it’s moved on. I do enjoy my books a little bit more when they’re told in dual point of views, which really brings the characters true feelings to light. I liked how Tamsin was genuine with her thoughts and feelings, but I wish she didn’t feel like she needed to change her appearance. At times I felt like I was reading about teenagers and not 20 somethings. I was, also, surprised there were magic elements, which was intriguing. I š Dustmop!! What a perfect name for a sheepdog! He sounds so cute! The book was titled perfectly, as well, and it’s a cute, quick, friends to lovers, read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Book Blurb:
Once upon a surfboard. . .
Tamsin has been in love with her best friend, Rigel, for two years. She’s watched him date girl after girl, wondering why he never considers her. One frosty morning after winter surfing, she misinterprets his concern over an injury and kisses him. To her horror, he doesnāt feel the same.
In order to save their friendship, they agree to get dates by the Frost Ball on Christmas Eve. But while Rigel falls into another relationship easily, Tamsin decides she must change everything about herself to become more feminine. Her plan works, to an extent. While she does find a date to the ball, she also loses a part of herself.
Tamsinās transformation unsettles Rigel. Every change she makes takes her further from him. Then, when heās missing her the most, his dog Dustmop goes missing, too. In his distress, he manages to lose his girlfriend, too. Only, he doesn’t seem as bothered about that.
Rigel realizes his love for Tamsin, but is he too late?
