I found the first few chapters were quite cringey but it got better as the story progressed. In the end it felt kind of rushed.

“Josh this is my big-mouthed sister, Christine.”
“Very big,” Christine adds with a smile as she offers her hand. “And I’ve heard you’ve got a very big—” “Television!” Lynsey finishes, squeezing her nieces’ shoulders to her sides, her face stricken with guilt.
I enjoyed reading about Lynsey and Josh’s story. It was different from having a tire shop romance which was nice. I did feel like their was less comedy in this story but that could just be me.
This story was a mixture of enemies to lovers, forced proximity, accidental pregnancy & grumpy/sunshine.
Even though there was a little bit less comedy the author did include real life events such as the mention of cancer and how that can effect someone’s life and career. And you could see the struggle of that in both of the main characters which I admired.
As for comedy, I loved reading the banter between Lynsey and Dean, and how Dean was really supportive/protective of Lynsey. I loved seeing the character from the previous books as well as reading about how their relationships are progressing and how happy they all are! 😍
I just love how Amy Daws is connecting these stories today through a timeline of events. For example, there was a scene in ‘Next in line’ that was included in this book to show their POV which I loved! I can’t wait to see what other connections/links the next books will bring! x

Reading this book made me realise that I’m a lesbian
Regardless her drilling in his stone wall without asking permission so she have the TV mounted on the wall, is so disrespectful. Lynsey is unlikeable in bad way she just annoying. Also she is way too invasive with Josh’s past, and psychoanalysing him is just unhealthy. If he doesn’t wanna talk a something deeply personal and traumatic to him he doesn’t have to Lyndsey isn’t his therapist breeding kink is kinda weird but each to their own
Regardless

Honestly I had a good time reading this but I don't think I can, in good faith, give this more than 2 stars

I liked Lynsey (had a hard time with that spelling) and Josh. This is a fairly predictable but easy read.
I do not love the way both Lynsey and her mom talk about weight and food. It felt unnecessary to the story and really pulled me out of the narrative.
I skipped Next in Line to read this one, mostly because I didn’t love Kate and Miles and I knew a story about Sam and Maggie would feature them. I probably won’t read Next in line nor Take A Number. I haven’t liked Dean’s character through two books so I don’t see a point in reading them.
