Honestly this book gave me everything I wanted from it. It was the classic tropes to lovers romance novel but it was well written and not cringe. I really liked how it was written from only Lucy’s perspective bc throughout the book you where learning more and more things about Josh. If you liked beach read you would love this! The ending was good and it let you have a bit of an imagination with it. Overall a great easy read!
Amazing! Hilarious! Sooo sweet ... and intriguing .. I loved every word and savored every sentence! This is a book that sucked me in completely... I was expecting a light read, similar to Sophie kinsella's books but this is so not the case! Between Joshua's shirt colors that Lucy keeps track of and Joshua's mysterious scribbling on his diary that Lucy is dying to decipher the tension keeps on rising and at first we don't know what is going on in their heads ... except for the funny games they play together all day long: the staring game - the how you doing game etc. This book is different, it is not just another romance at all ... it keeps you on your nerves and you get to know the characters progressively even if we only know Lucy's point of view; the dialogue is so present that we also feel what josh is thinking ... and josh, oh Josh! Alpha male who is hiding behind his arrogant mask, who has his own reasons ... but who is the dream man of every girl, although only Luce was able to "tame" him and keep him interested and most importantly keep up with his "asshole" side.
I can't wait for another book by the same author ... can't recommend it enough!

The more I think about this book, the lower a rating I give it.
An easy read, spicy at first but seemed to draw it out a bit long.
Felt like the reasons/ actual storylines was a bit weak and predictable. The story was a bit lacklustre and the final spicy scene didn’t seem the give the effect I was expecting, with a rushed ending in the hopes of tying it all up.
Also thought it was boring how repetitive it was that she was tiny and he was huge and then he was so handsome but it turns out he was shy/ insecure? I wish that realisation came sooner in the book so we didn’t have to keep repeatedly hearing it
Overall, not bad but not astounding, enticing enough I read most of this in one sitting, but not as captivating as other romances I’ve read.
