Almost a perfect book to me. I really loved the premise and Lucy Parker has been highly recommended, so I took a leap and bought the paperback. So glad I did! Such a lovely combination of hilarity, vulnerability, and sexiness. The reasons why the main couple experiences issues was much more realistic and the angst was pretty low here. But the story is tinged with grief, although not at all dragged down by having the characters allow themselves to feel it. Just a delightful, emotionally intelligent romance and I can’t wait to read the next in the series as well as everything else Lucy Parker has written!

There is a mentally Ill person who stalks and ends up attacking someone. It is a very small subplot and is handled with care.kylieqrada's review

I dont have the words for the pure unadulterated MAGIC that was this book, y'all. Grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, casual inclusivity, CAKE?!?!? I just. I died.

This book had a lot going on and I felt the author was throwing a little of different story lines into the book seemingly and it of nowhere. The first part of the book was very sweet and I enjoyed it but as the plot got bogged down in the second half, I felt a little lost.

GOD I LOVED THIS BOOK FOR ME THIS IS PERSONALLY UNMATCHED
I will say there's a good chance I'm playing this up but I haven't read a book that's eaten me alive since the Brown Sisters series so that's really fkn saying something. And even then it's so unlike Talia Hibbert's work. The core of the two main characters' relationship is the fact that they compliemnt each other perfectly in terms of how they give and receive intimacy. This book cradles the gentlest of romances in delicate hands and delivers it to you with a warm blanket and a cup of your favourite beverage in a room bathed in soft lighting and leaves you with a lil peck on the forehead. I swear to GOD I cannot handle how soft this book is.
The third act conflict really did a number on me and I resolutely avoided reading it for a whole week because I was anxious about how it would turn out and whether or not the conflict would allow me to trust in the integrity of their relationship and probable "makeup" but I had nothing to fear becasue this was the IDEAL third act conflict, i.e. no break up only working together and facing the conflict hand in hand. UGHHHHHHHHHHH I might read it again now. I finished it three hours ago. SOB SO GOOD
