What I loved most
There's something deeply satisfying about a well-executed second-chance romance, especially when the characters are as complex and deserving as Santino and Tilly. I appreciated how their past experiences shaped them into different individuals, yet their magnetic pull towards each other remained palpable.
Santino and Tilly feel refreshingly relatable. They embody the nuances of real people in their twenties—imperfect, evolving, and not necessarily seeking a serious relationship back then. Tilly's journey of growth and self-discovery adds depth to her character, making her return all the more compelling.
While Santino and Tilly's backstory lends a more somber tone compared to other characters in the Harris brothers' universe, it doesn't lack engaging banter and authentic, direct interactions. Freya, a standout from "Blindsided," returns with her delightful presence, injecting humor and charm into the narrative.
Santino's romantic gestures, especially when he whispers sweet Italian nothings in Tilly's ear, are swoon-worthy. I appreciated the dual perspectives, allowing us to experience both sides of their evolving relationship.
Tilly emerges as a strong, resilient heroine without veering into exaggerated drama—an approach that I found refreshing and well-balanced.
Overall, "Replay" is another testament to Amy Daws' storytelling prowess. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Harris brothers or new to the series, this book stands strong as a standalone read. If you adore second-chance romance, don't miss out on this captivating tale.
