Easy read and I do love how different all of Tessa’s characters are but wow that got so frustrating! I wish we could have seen them as an actual couple but the whole book was their back and forth inability to communicate and then epilogue time jump. I did binge it in under 24 hrs so it still gets at least 4 stars but not my favorite of hers

Rating: 3/5 stars
Police academy recruit Charlie Burns thinks he’s won the lottery when he enters a no-strings relationship with Ever Carmichael. But when she decides she wants a real relationship after all, Charlie engages in increasingly desperate antics to get her back.
This book is honestly so dumb, and yet I was here for it most of the time? I wanted a quick and mindless read and this delivered on that in spades—my friend Hannah called it a junk food book and I totally agree. If you’re looking for literature with a capital-L, you will not find it here, but if you want an escapist and over-the-top rom-com, I actually can’t recommend it enough.
The only reason I didn’t break down and rate this higher was because Charlie’s behavior REALLY annoyed me for a chunk of the book, and the conflict basically boiled down to “they just won’t admit they love each other” which isn’t my favorite. Still, I’m definitely going to read the rest of the series, and I genuinely don’t regret a minute spent consuming this one.
CW: Very mild mentions of a toxic/abusive relationship; parental abandonment

Not the Tessa Bailey I was looking for. But also I didn't know the whole plot just that it was a cop book (don't judge me trying to branch my romance reading out)
