I loved this book so much. Was very cute. Loved the romance ark of Charlie and Mack. Their character develop throughout the book was amazing and I was here for it! Loved seeing Charlie come into her as a business owner and owning her shit. You go boss girl!!! Mack's growth as an author and learning to develop a healthy relationship with others was great to see too. Also love that she finally talk to her mother about her truma. Loved how well written not only the main characters where but also the other characters within this book. I didn't feel like the other side characters where 1 dimensional. This book had me hooked and may or may not have kept me past my bed time. Also just a side not, really love the consent in the spicy bits. I thought I was so refreshing to see Mack check in with Charlie and ask his she felt comfortable with what was happening

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The first 30% kind of dragged and was very repetitive but when it started finding itself it was hard to put down. 
Charlie and Mack have great chemistry and you want them to be together and be happy!
They’re both kind of a mess which is really comforting. 
Mack’s parents are so wonderful and supportive!

I really didn’t like Charlie’s friend Ben. I can’t put my finger on why, but he just bothered me for some reason. 

Overall, this was a beautiful book and I really did love Charlie and Mack.
