**A Relatable Contemporary Romance: Thoughts on "On the Fence" by KC West**

I recently had the pleasure of reading "On the Fence" by KC West, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. As someone who has anxiety myself, I particularly appreciated how the author tackled this sensitive topic in a way that felt very relatable to me. Autumn, one of the main characters, struggles with Pacific anxiety, which is characterized by worries about things she can't control. This resonated deeply with me, and it was refreshing to see someone on paper who shares similar fears and anxieties.

The author's ability to convey Autumn's feelings and thoughts in a way that felt authentic and honest was impressive. I found myself connecting with her struggles and emotions, which made the story all the more impactful. The romance between Autumn and Dax is also noteworthy, as it develops gradually over the course of the book. Their relationship is built on mutual trust and respect, which makes their interactions feel genuine and heartfelt.

Another aspect of the book that I appreciated was the character development of Autumn's roommate, Dad. He's a troubled young man who has faced his fair share of challenges, including being placed in a foster home due to family issues. Despite these difficulties, he remains determined to have freedom and autonomy, which makes him a compelling and relatable character.

I also enjoyed reading about the friendship between Autumn and her roommate, Dad. Their bond is built on mutual understanding and support, and it's clear that they care deeply for each other. The way they navigate their relationships with one another is authentic and nuanced, making their interactions feel realistic and engaging.

The plot of "On the Fence" moves quickly, which makes it a fast-paced and engaging read. I appreciated how the author wove together multiple storylines and character arcs to create a cohesive and satisfying narrative. The romance between Autumn and Dax is a particular highlight, as it develops gradually over the course of the book.

One aspect of the book that did feel a bit underdeveloped was the library portion of the story. I wanted to see more of how Autumn and Dad connected in this setting, but it felt a bit rushed and left me wanting more. Despite this, the author's ability to create a sense of community and belonging among her characters is impressive.

Overall, I would recommend "On the Fence" to fans of contemporary romance. The book has a lighthearted and fluffy tone that makes it perfect for reading during the spring or summer months. While it may not be my favorite KC West book (I prefer "PS, I Love You"), I think it's a solid effort in her oeuvre.
