This was a sweet story with all the feels!
I really liked Everly and Chris together and individually,an office romance set at a radio station..so cute
Everly is such a strong woman and I liked this book approach to the anxiety.
The characters were so endearing and had their hearts in the right place, namely Stacey and Everly's friendship. I hope this turns into series, the ending chapters were quite good and fun to read.

Ugggghhhhh this book started out so strong and then just lost all of that as it went along. I loved getting to read about a character with anxiety as that's something I can really relate to. Throughout the story, I really appreciated how the author handled anxiety and seemed very accurate at least to my own experiences. Now we dive into what I didn't like about this book.

This is essentially a Bachelorette knock off. This plot both took over the plot but also wasn't in it enough. I think the author was just trying to do too much with this story and so neither storyline had enough time to fully grow. Personally, I wish the author made it more of a straight up Bachelorette story or completely took it out of the book. Everly is really working on herself after a humiliating breakup and that easily could have been the focus of the book. At least for me, the plot really just fell flat.

Not going to talk about it much but where is the smut?? Literally not even a fade to black scene...

Overall, this book was fine but not something I'd recommend. Needed to pick a plot and just generally be more interesting.

I'm disappointed I didn't read this book first (of the Jansen Brothers' books). I totally missed it was part of a series and read them out of order. Having met Chris and Everly in the next books within the series I was already drawn to their story and Chris' treatment of Everly's anxiety. I enjoyed reading of their meeting and the game show style story was fun to read!

I feel like I am on a bad train of romances lately and it feels like this pairing is part of it. The anxiety representation in this one was solid. That being said, frankly I wanted development from the couple as a couple as well.

I received an ecopy of this book via Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.
