mmm, it took me time to read, though i will blame that on school. Just a quick recap on my thoughts. It was an okay book. Nothing overly special about it, but i’m probably also saying that because it took me this long to read, so my attention was elsewhere more often than not. One thing i do remember is how quickly they became friends. I found it a little odd just because it was such a sudden change in attitudes. One time we were hating on each other appearing borderline stalker, and the other we were completely okay letting him into our house, and help pack groceries, like …? Another thing that was kinda bothering me was the fact that it was a friends to lovers, but it kind of felt like they were just very good friends. Like they stayed friends for so long that i felt like there was no chemistry between them as a couple anymore. Like i wouldn’t have minded if they stayed friends. I guess it kinda makes sense cause it’s a slow burn, but it’s also friends to lovers, but idk it just felt weird. Anyways that was my review. I feel like half of the thing i said make no sense but oh well.

The plotting pace was decent and I enjoyed the MCs worked up to a sexual relationship before just going there given the single parent status and her constant inner monolog about being judged for being a teen mom and divorced.
That said, given there was some workplace SA scenes, I thought the author skipped over really addressing that both with the MCs, her supporting workplace relationships, and just generally overall for the MFC. It read clunky and just a throw away plot gimmick without flushing out the finer details for all involved. Her dad knows the owner, yet not even a peep about this POS between them? Ok...
