So, basically, I came for the smut. I read so many good things about this book. Everyone seemed to compare it to Ali Hazlewood's books and as I absolutely loved them, I was excited to read this book. But now I am a little disappointed. Olivia and Colin miss some chemistry. Don't get me wrong, there was some chemistry, but it didn't spark. I couldn't connect with Olivia at all. She only wants to hear what she believes is right. There were so many problems in this book between Olivia and Colin that could have been easily resolved by talking to each other. The sex scenes were steamy, but not as steamy as everyone made it sound.
This book just wasn't what I thought it would be. It wasn't bad, but I expected something different.

Living in a tight space might cause some challenges. Especially when Collin is the random number Olivia has been texting. In Collin’s eyes? His perspective of Olivia being his brother’s baby sister might change.
The story was sweet and funny. As a reader, I was cheering for Olivia to have something good happen to her. The whole texting the random number was funny but Collin should have told her a lot sooner. That would have made the plot better. It could have been a cuter love story.
I also strongly disliked her perception of Collin (she thought he was a rich country club guy). Their argument was also never resolved. It’s like they sudden got over it and made up too quickly. Bit of a red flag. Their constant bickering also got on my nerves SO much.

I also loved all the interactions with the secondary characters - Liv and Sara, Liv & Jack, Colin and Jill and Colin and Jack. Even though the book didn’t need it, I would have loved to have seen more of those relationships.
The storyline was a classic romcom and I could not get enough! I loved how it played out. The humour was just perfect! It’s my kind of humour and exactly how I would be with a partner in terms of the back and forth banter. I think I may have been 2 pages in before I started laughing.
