Love redesigned is a swoonfest that must be devoured! 😍 The second chance romance is as sweet as it gets, laced with reflection, good communication and teamwork regardless of the past (and present) rivalry. Dahlia and Julian are so, so, so good for each other.

"Life without you was a series of pros and cons. Risks and rewards. Black and white with very few shades of gray. But then you came back and flipped a switch inside me, flooding my world with color after a ten-year blackout, and I don't plan on giving that up. Not now. Not ever."

In the book some characters from Asher's other series, Dreamland Billionaires, have small but influential parts as side characters, and the book lays a foundation for a Dirty Air Series crossover as well with the christmas present of F1 passes. I'm looking forward to seeing how all her series will be more interconnected in the future.

I've been admiring Asher's writing of multidimensional characters before, but I think she has outdone herself here. Asher writes about depression and the ways for dealing with it in a very respectful way. Addressing the metal health struggles and destigmatising them by showing how they are only a part of someone's life even when they affect the people around them also is immensely priceless.

I think this is Lauren Asher’s most romantic book. Dahlia and Julian truly felt made for each other. I think that’s true for most academic rivals to lovers stories, but few make the transition from adversaries to partners as well as these two did.

This book was also truly funny! Their pranks on each other made me laugh so much, but nothing was better than Julian’s masterful prank on Oliver!

This is also the perfect time to read it since it heavily features Thanksgiving and Christmas and really got me ready to read more Christmas books!
