One of the best non-fantasy modern romance book I've ever read. I've noticed that I don't like the character really if I can see myself in them and this was the case for Lane. She was very very relatable. This book was not just a romance book for me, it also taught me a few things. And then, Matt is such a green flag, without any flaws, and literally perfect. I can totally see why Lane saw him as "the best man in whole world"
before Lane ever proposed I was telling her myself to go and husband him up and this has never happened. I have never wanted the girl to propose first and I've read sooo many books but when I tell you Matt totally deserved it. He's probably one of the best men I've ever read.
It was really a five star worthy book but i had to reduce some points because I did get some of my bookish icks. But the overall story was so cute and wholesome, i still would recommend it to anyone who's into romance. If i had gotten the same icks from any other book, it would probably be 2 or 3 star but seriously other things in the story really made me love it despite those icks.

As my Aim to finish series that I star continues I was super excited to dive into book 2 after finishing and enjoying book in the “Next” Series. Hannah Bonam-Young certainty has a way with words, character building and descriptions that just pull me in and don’t let me go until the very end!
This is a friend to lover’s romance, and it was so cute and had the sweetest hero! Lane and Matt meet at their best friends New Year’s Eve party (the couple of books 1) and they end up sharing a kiss at midnight. Instead of things progressing from there, they both kind of put one another in the friend zone instead. We cut to a little over a year later and they’ve become close friends! Lane is 27 and having a bit of an identity crisis: her career is headed nowhere, her friends are all partnered up, and she’s just not that happy. So, after a night of drinking on her birthday, she ends up purchasing a giant, yellow school bus she wants to make into a home! Lane has no reno experience, just a big inheritance to use, so she ends up enlisting Matt’s help since he’s a mechanic/handyman.
This story was about Lane’s journey to being happy and believing that she deserved to be happy. It was such a fun read. It was wholesome and beautiful. Easy to get into and read. I felt Matt’s love for Lane. The pining, the tension, the heat, the victory dance Matt did when he finally got some action, Matt’s family, the friendship, the audiobooks, the movie nights - all is what made this book such a great book
Temporary DNF. May come back to it someday but it’s just not holding my attention at the moment and I’d rather move on.
