I had high hopes for this book, Clayborn generally produces exemplary contemporaries. I was not disappointed! Love at First nails it.
The modern love story of Nora and Will feels organically romantic from the first page. A beautiful take on the favorite “enemies to lovers” trope without being too precious. The narrative has a vaguely YA feel, these are two people who despite being adults are learning to be themselves for the first time, while not feeling cheesy or insufficiently sexy. This book will melt your heart and lustily sweep you off your feet. Good stuff!
In between the romance, Clayborn tackles the complexity of all the humans in this perfectly crafted world. Love, grief, abandonment and overcoming the failings of our families all get compassionate handling. “Love at first sight” is blended so well with the realities of humanity, this book feels friendly and loving from start to finish.
