I wholeheartedly love and adore this book. Farley and Meyer brought me inexplicable comfort. I was smiling, laughing, swooning and feeling all of the above because these characters took over my heart!
There’s just something so deeply comforting about a couple who simply love being together and have such a genuine friendship which seems so mundane but I can’t help but rejoice over that simple fact. Fee and Meyer’s story felt so real and tangible because of how their relationship developed. It feels like a breath of fresh air honestly.
I absolutely love Farley. I found myself crackling at some of the things she said forgetting she’s a literal comedian. I appreciate how her character was written in such an unapologetic way that truly showcased characteristics that typically have such a bad rep, especially in women. Meyer was perfect. His dedication to the people he love is so inspiring. Though he grumpy and over-protective, he truly have a heart of gold that I could feel off the pages. Yet another single dad who took over my heart. Also how could I not talk about Hazel because I love that little girl. I enjoyed every scene she was in.
Though this was romance book, the ASL and mental health representation was equally as important in this story and I believe the author did a great job at solidifying her message in her words.
This book made me so so happy and it was exactly what I needed on a gloomy sunday <3

I absolutely inhaled this book. My oooonly criticism is that the 3rd act conflict came far too late in the book and we just needed ONE MORE CHAPTER to really wrap things up. The two epilogues did a good job of telling us things were ok in the long run. Still felt like 5 stars to me. I love Tara DeWitt’s writing and all 3 main characters were just lovely. I really hope she starts to get the recognition she deserves as an author - Savor It was also beautiful. 😍

I absolutely loved this book. 4.5/5 ⭐️
I loved the characters, they were both amazing. I loved that they were emotionally mature, yet both had their own moments of self doubt and anxiety. I really related to Farley in the way her mind works and spirals and I feel like the way it was portrayed was very realistic and it was nice feeling like a book character sees me.
I love seeing their family dynamic with his daughter and how loving and fierce Farley was with her.
I’m also a big sucker for fake dating and the sunshine/grump tropes.
The tension and yearning were great, the spice was good - I hoped for a little bit more, but still very enjoyable.
I feel like the ending was a bit rushed in some parts, but overall I couldn’t get enough of these characters and I loved this book.

LOVED! This book was the combo of two of my favorite things- stand up comedy & romance. He is her manager/former comedian. She has become like family to him and his daughter who she can communicate with via ASL. This book is beautiful and funny. Everything I wanted in a book. I loved the hard conversations the main characters had to have and the way the author conveys their vulnerability. A definite reread for me! 10/10
