Review of All the years we've waited
All The Years We've Waited by Summer Rae tells the story of Samantha and Jacob. They were childhood best friends until a failed romance drove them apart. After working as a store clerk for around six years after dropping out of college, Samantha runs into Jacob again. He tries to take her on a date, but Samantha's clumsy nature causes her to hurt her foot, and she ends up in the hospital. Jacob takes the opportunity to take care of her. He hopes to have another shot at a relationship with her. Will Samantha and Jacob's relationship have a happy ending this time, or is history doomed to repeat itself?
The writing style of the book was my favorite part. Rae was able to describe the events of the book vividly. Samantha's insecurities were visceral and relatable. She had body-image issues, making her relatable to many people. Her insecurities were present and accounted for in each decision that Samantha made. The small town also forced Samantha to deal with everyone knowing her business, which added more stress to her life. All of these qualities were portrayed expertly by Rae.
I will say the book leaned heavily into romance tropes. The plot felt predictable, and I was not really surprised by any of the plot points. I was hoping for at least a few unpredictable twists in the story. However, the excellent writing did make the story enjoyable.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The book was well-edited and was interesting to read. I enjoyed the characterization and the writing style. Rae is gifted at bringing scenes to life. I am taking off one star for the cliched plot points. This book does contain explicit content and is only suitable for adult audiences. I believe that All The Years We've Waited is best suited for fans of romance who are looking for an emotional read.

Now, the reviewer did mention that the plot seemed a bit predictable, following some romance tropes. But hey, sometimes a little predictability can be comforting, right? The important thing is that the writing style still made it an enjoyable read.
Overall, I reckon this book deserves a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The reviewer deducted a star for the cliched plot points, but hey, we all have our personal preferences. I reckon if you're a fan of romance and enjoy emotionally charged stories, this book might just be your cup of tea.
Now, y'all know how it goes, every book has room for improvement. If I had to find somethin' to critique, I'd say a few unpredictable twists in the plot would have spiced things up. A little unpredictability never hurt nobody!
But hey, if the writing style is as good as the reviewer claims, I reckon that's worth a read on its own. Y'all know how rare it is to find a book with flawless editing, so that must be commendable too!
So there ya have it, a little taste of All The Years We've Waited by Summer Rae. Give it a go if you're in the mood for a heartwarming romance with relatable characters and a vividly described setting. Happy readin', y'all! Engrossing read, lost track of time.

Margaret Williamson’s work “All the Years We’ve Waited” is a thoughtful narrative about families and love as well as endurance.
