This was my least favorite Tarah book but I would still die for Deacon and LaRynn. I’m always a sucker for a childhood friends/highschool sweethearts/second chance romance and this one was so funny while also not losing that angst that comes with first heartbreak. LaRynn is one of the most relatable heroines I’ve come across, and while the story wasn’t as captivating to me personally as FF and Rootbound, I felt so connected to the characters, and their flaws had me rooting for them even more??? Also this book gave me my first “my wife” moment and I swear it changed me on a molecular level. This woman is magic and I want to know wtf she puts in her books.

Fun premise and audiobook listen - especially loved how the mistrust between both characters was written in an entirely believable way - they have to actively take steps to listen better to one another which I don't often see in romance. I wished it could have been *slightly* spicier a little earlier on, but still really solid!

The book wasn’t bad. It just felt mediocre, the storyline of two people who seem to dislike each other but actually don’t do because all of that just resulted because of a series of miscommunication is so overdone. I mean it still could have been good. But nothing new was done, of course construction is something you don’t usually see. I did not understand one word that was written about construction but it was fine. Meanwhile, the characters seemed kind of flat, I saw the effort of making their life and personalities deep but it just didn’t work for me.

The main guy character in this book talking about getting a tattoo only for the main guy character in Funny Feeling to get a tattoo warmed my hopeless romantic heart. This book is a solid five starts, there are no faults in this book. Tarah Dewitt is the newest author that I'm obsessed with.

The Co-Op is a second chance, marriage of convenience, "enemies" to lovers story and it is sensational. The first thing to say is that the characters are not immediately likeable; they’re flawed, defensive, combative and they project their insecurities onto each other. I grew to love them as they open up, we learn of their reasoning and motives for past actions and I was rooting for their happiness. They have a lot to overcome, together and individually , emotionally and physically and it makes their HEA that much sweeter in the end. LaRynn’s growth as a character both in terms of finding her place and with her relationships with Deacon and her mother are both heart-breaking and lovely. I cried so much reading this when the characters were hurt and acting out but also when they’re celebrating their wins.
I also love the way music is threaded through this story, attached to LaRynn’s awkward moments then lifting their everyday moments of domesticity.

A beautiful story filled with building tension, character growth and sweet moments.
