Main characters Birdie Bennett and Palmer Campbell were incredibly likeable and well-developed, and I loved their snarky banter which made me laugh out loud more than once. I also loved that Birdie made Palmer work for her forgiveness after the way he cut off communications with her a few years earlier. Their chemistry remained strong despite the time apart and Birdie's understandable anger, but it took quite a while for them to act on it. I couldn't wait for them to finally give into their feelings and do something about it, and when they did, it was totally worth the wait.
As always with Sivec's books, the secondary characters were fantastic and added a tremendous amount of depth and humor to the story. I particularly loved Palmer and Birdie's respective best friends, Bodhi and Tess, who enjoyed a fun secondary romance as they helped Palmer and Birdie get their acts together. Tess legitimately scared me sometimes with her death threats and pyromania, but she was also hilarious and always had Birdie's back.
Overall, I absolutely adored "Kiss My Putt" and highly recommend it for all rom-com fans. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, featuring Birdie's older sister Wren and baseball player Shep Oliver.

“Palmer ‘Pal’ Campbell has epic breakdown on the 18th hole of the Bermuda Open! Video at 11.”
After spending my entire pro golfing career being known as the quiet, controlled, no-nonsense golfer on the tour, there’s nothing more humiliating than throwing all of that down the drain—or into a water hazard—on national television. Needing some place to hide, to lick my wounds and figure out what I even want to do with my life once this blows over, I can only think of one place I need to be. Summersweet Island, where everyone treats me like one of their own, and they’ll all be happy to have me home again.
Well, except maybe one person. It’s been two years since I last set foot on Summersweet Island or spoke to anyone there. But I’m sure Birdie Bennett, my best friend since I was 15 and the clubhouse manager of my favorite golf course, has had plenty of time to forgive me for that tiny little misunderstanding where I blocked her on social media and blocked her in my phone. Oh, and I guess I kind of, sort of accused her of being a stalker. It’s fine!
Once my sexy, spunky, former best friend gets over the shock of seeing me again and stops trying to drive a 9-iron into my skull, I can finally let her know I’ve also kind of, sort of always been in love with her...
