Writing: 3.75⭐️/5
Serviceably written, with some very fun sections!
Characters: 4⭐️/5
I mean, I might just be in love with Joshua, but I thought the characters we focus on were both fun and fresh in their development. I loved their quirks and personalities, and I loved getting to know both of them. However, the side characters definitely lacked some depth and, despite the fact that I love the main characters, I would have loved to see the development of side characters even just a touch more.
Plot: 4⭐️/5
A coworker who hates you, a merger that pushes you to work hard to save jobs, and a hot guy you have to stare at all day. Throw in a momentary illness, a wedding in which one of you needs a date, and a very hot scene in an elevator, and you have a captivating story. Sure, the paintball section drug on way too long in my opinion. Sure, the wedding section could have been condensed to include all the spicy scenes and fewer tense moments. Sure, I could have gone without the misunderstanding tropes times a few times. Sure, the ending lacked a little something something. But, damn, I had fun.

The hating game is definitely something to hate. They talked about jokingly killing each than suddenly chapter like 9 they are making out in an elevator? Shes is acts like a pick me a little and collects smurfs .. I only finished the book because it'll bother me forever if k didnt... it took 2 months for me to finish reading it. I would not recommend

LOVED IT!! Totally the hype worth.
I definitely knew from the get go that Joshua loved her since the day he first layed eyes on her.
I loved the writing style, I honestly wanted to know how it was gonna play out. I wasn't blindsided by anything other than Lucy's rabid lioness outburst post wedding - I did not see that coming, which made me love that moment so much!
But, I gotta be honest, about halfway through, I was standing on a 4* rating. The thing that put me off was the feeling that Lucy only wanted Joshua for his body. Which embarrassingly reminded me of myself when I just met my husband...
This whole book has bits & pieces of me & my husband in it & I could relate to it on such a deep level. Which is probably why I'm giving it a 5* rating, so many memories & feelings came back & I absolutely enjoyed the ride.
When I reached chapter 25 I was like: about damn time! Finally! But, in all honesty, I'm so glad Josh made Lucy his Easter Egg!
Can I just say 2 words. Joshua Templeman! 😍
