This was so sweet!!! Mia and Noah's friendship and relationship developed so naturally and adorably, leaving me cheering them along each step. They grow so much throughout this book, especially the last section, growth that was very much needed. I highly recommend this sweet, friends-to-lovers heart-warmer!

This was a solid read! I liked Mia and Noah for the most part (even if I did want to shake them sometimes because of their baggage) and the book was very easy to binge. A marriage of convenience between life long friends (they were next door neighbors) with pretty cute banter and enough references to "Chasing Cars" my Spotify algorithm is going to be thrown off. It is a closed door, but up until that door slams closed there are some great descriptions, but once they get together those dry up as well. I like Ashley's writing style (even if I wish it wasn't closed door!) and am super excited for book 2.

I really enjoyed the concept of this story. While the whole friends to lovers/marriage of convenience themes have been explored in many ways in many books, Ashley interweaves great character arcs and past stories to make this one super compelling. I loved Noah, perhaps more than I loved Mia. But I also loved seeing them together. This book was a fast and fun read and I really was moved when reading!

The premise that Mia and Noah had to commit insurance fraud was a bit silly (for one if she is a full time student the university should have it or she should be qualified for Medicare) plus not sure it even was fraud but the proximity to realizing feelings trope was strong and the characters were lovable so I enjoyed the read once it got started (slow to get into)
