I enjoyed this a lot overall. I liked the romance, with its great chemistry and believable tension, and I loved the 'she-has-no-idea-how-obsessed-with-him-she-is' vibe that's there right from the start. I loved, too, many of the side characters and other relationships that are explored (and particularly all the casual queer representation). I also went into this knowing basically nothing about public radio and so it was super interesting to get an insight into that, and I essentially just really appreciated how well-balanced the romance is with everything mentioned above and also with the explorations of some heavier topics. Overall, then, a really solid read - I didn't connect with it enough emotionally to give it a higher rating, but I still enjoyed my time reading it and I'd recommend it if it sounds at all interesting to you!

I enjoyed this book. I just probably wouldn't read it again. It was a great story and has some great characters. But my issue is that I've read something really similar to this before and i felt this one was a little too slow for me. 

I'd still recommend it. The plot was good, I loved the characters, and there were a lot of really funny moments scattered throughout.

A clique, but funny, light hearted feel-good read. A very enjoyable novel, that has an easy feel to it.

An adorable & fun read! I love when authors take tropes (in this case: fake dating, enemies to friends to lovers) and twist them just a smidge so the story feels new and exciting. This is a workplace enemies to lovers with fake exes.
