I expected to really love this book. Andi was such a fun character in Yes & I Love You. The grumpy firefighter as the love interest had me ready. It just fell really fell short for me. Without spoilers, the book just felt like a repeat of work done before, with a rushed storyline.
Andi had a lot of trauma, which I think was written decently well, but the reason for that causing her to want only wanting a friends with benefit relationship didn't make the most sense to me. I think her reasoning could have been explained better. It also felt incredibly rushed from, "we're going to do things slowly cause I freak out" to "let's hook up now." That part did not feel realistic and just felt like a way to get to smut quicker. I also was a little disappointed that it was another friends with benefits "no dating" situation, because thats the same as the couple in "Yes & I love You." It just felt like a copy in a lot of ways. </spoiler)
