"I didn't want to give you another reason to hate me because after all these years, you're my biggest regret" ๐
I can honestly say that Stefanie K Steck has climbed to the top of my favorite Indie Authors list! That Next Moment was absolutely fabulous! It is the second book of The Moments of Us Series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Ok, I am just going to say itโฆI really didnโt like Clay at the beginning of this book. What a freeloader, crap friend who took his friends for granted! The attitude and the lies! UGH! But then as I read and got to know him, he really redeemed himself. I almost love him as much as Milo (he will forever be my favorite). Ophelia, is fabulous! I love her sass and strong-will to make such a name for herself in the fashion industry. It was refreshing to see that she didn't immediately let Clay off the hook for how their relationship ended all those years ago. They are perfect for each other but they truly needed that 10 year break to become a better version of themselves today.
Does anyone else hear Whitley from A Different World's voice when Ophelia talks? ๐คญ
I loved everything about this book - the writing, the character, the character development. BUT mostly the love and banter that is throughout this book! The only thing is that I wish Clay would have gone after his ex-employer to get that money back. It could have help not only his career but Opheliaโsโฆeven though I know in the end, it really didn't matter.
While I know that this is Clay & Opheliaโs story, it really made me love Milo even more than I did after reading That Right Moment. What an amazing friend he was to Clay! I also loved that Milo & Madeline went to Marble for their honeymoon!
