So, basically, I came for the smut. I read so many good things about this book. Everyone seemed to compare it to Ali Hazlewood's books and as I absolutely loved them, I was excited to read this book. But now I am a little disappointed. Olivia and Colin miss some chemistry. Don't get me wrong, there was some chemistry, but it didn't spark. I couldn't connect with Olivia at all. She only wants to hear what she believes is right. There were so many problems in this book between Olivia and Colin that could have been easily resolved by talking to each other. The sex scenes were steamy, but not as steamy as everyone made it sound.
This book just wasn't what I thought it would be. It wasn't bad, but I expected something different.

Living in a tight space might cause some challenges. Especially when Collin is the random number Olivia has been texting. In Collin’s eyes? His perspective of Olivia being his brother’s baby sister might change.
The story was sweet and funny. As a reader, I was cheering for Olivia to have something good happen to her. The whole texting the random number was funny but Collin should have told her a lot sooner. That would have made the plot better. It could have been a cuter love story.
I also strongly disliked her perception of Collin (she thought he was a rich country club guy). Their argument was also never resolved. It’s like they sudden got over it and made up too quickly. Bit of a red flag. Their constant bickering also got on my nerves SO much.

All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.
Olivia and Colin had a "hate" relationship from their younger years that was just teasing and nonsensical assumptions, but besides that they were kinda fun together. Their chemistry was good, but sometimes it felt like the didn't have any actual feelings for each other, just sexual tension. That's where the fun fling started and of course, it turned into love.
Maybe I should move. To another country.
I felt bad for Olivia and her infamous luck, her family annoyed the fuck out of me with their attitude, they treated her as if she was always going to fail or fuck things up
I liked the texting aspect, but the story itself could've had more plot - some characters seemed to serve no purpose whatsoever. Regardless, a fun story and a quick binge-read.
