As someone who struggles with anxiety, I appreciate the representation so much. I also did have a hard time reading the main characters inner dialogue and it didn't put me in the best headspace, so read with caution if that is something you also struggle with. 

I did enjoy the overall topic, I have never read a dental themed romance and did enjoy the characters even if they were all very frustrating at times. I am looking forward to continuing the series.

I don’t usually finish a book in a day. But I finished this one so fast. 

I started this book because I wanted a sweet, easy rom com to read. I had no idea the main character had anxiety until I read the authors note in the beginning.  

Without spoiling anything, I liked how this book showed how really hard anxiety is and how it really messes with your mind. How sometimes it can be all consuming and you end up not realizing what it’s doing in the moment. How hard it is to get help. 

That said, I really liked this one. It was a sweet rom com. I would also like a Dan.
