Marriage of convenience meets enemies to lovers in this novel and I have to admit, this combination is often messy for me to love.

LaRynne and Deacon are characters with history, carrying their own personal life shaped baggage that creates a hectic romance. One that was slathered with miscommunication which is something I do not enjoy in my reading.

What I did enjoy and what kept me reading “The Co-Op” was the fun nicknames and banter, the love they had for their grandmothers’ home, and the growth by both Larry & Deacon.

This is my second book by DeWitt and I’ve struggled with liking her characters in both novels. I have “Savor It” up next so maybe the third time will be the charm for me!

This is a shout about it from the rooftops, book. I am in LOVE. I couldn't read it fast enough and my heart felt like it was going to slam out of my chest. I love these two and their love so much. It's so gripping and raw and intense in all the best ways. If I thought about it hard enough, I'm sure there's something that makes this book imperfect, but honestly who cares. We're all imperfect and that's sometimes the best part. This book reminds me to love the imperfect and all the tiny things that make us who we are.

ok ok i see the naominicholas vibes totally.

i was being a bit of a hater to begin with.. in fact a couple days before i actually read this, i tried to start it and got as far as the first page before i exited out of the app simply because her name was LaRynn and i thought she was gonna be one of those mckineleigh jessylyn typa girls. my bad larynn… she’s just french.

other than that- i liked these two well enough. they were WAYYYY too childish at times though. idk why it worked so well with naominicholas but i really couldn’t look past the fact that she cleaned the toilet with his toothbrush and let him use it numerous times before she felt bad and threw it out without ever saying anything..

i think deacon was a pretty good character? i can’t quite remember but i think i recall some boy obsessed-ness happening. so there’s that..

other than that i’m blanking..
