Weston Ryder the sweet soft man that you are!!!!
5 out of 5 stars baaaabbbyyy.
We’re back in Meadowlark and Rebel Blue Ranch with the newest addition to my Yee-haw shelf.
Done and Dusted made my top books of 2023 and I was anticipating the sequel so much and it did not disappoint.
First and foremost, I love Ada. Tattoo sleeve, mostly wears black - am I looking in a mirror right now? I have a hard time warming up to black cat characters, but watching Ada soften to Weston and the girls of Meadowlark mean the world to me. She was very relatable in the way she wasn’t sure if she fit in girls, and the insecurities of being new to a strong group of positive women. I do wish I had a little more of her back story, but really that didn’t take away from her character at all.
WESTON WESTON WESTON - please, I love him.
The male mental health issues in this was the representation I needed. Wes’s thoughts of not being control of his brain and the description of how his depression effects him could have come straight from my own mouth. As a fellow Anti-Depressant user, I loved seeing that Weston was unashamed in his mental health. Also, the Golden Retriever vibes? I would do anything for him.
If there’s one thing I love of about Lyla’s books is that they’re so easy to read and are always such a great time. I cannot WAIT for Teddy and Gus’ book!
