This is one of the few romance books that I just loved. The tension, the laughter, the struggle-it was like the best romcom

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

The antagonist was cartoonishly a dick, and the isms felt heavy handed. Plus the lawyer talked about "EEOC rules" about calling your coworker fat and I just can't.

Wasn't my favorite... I didn't like the back and forth between Ari and Porter and didn't enjoy that instant attraction. 2 stars normally mean I didn't completely hate it but because I'm doing this review 2 months after I have read it, I can't seem to remember what I liked
