A cute short story with some hilarious banter that helped distract me from the truly nightmarish situation the main character finds herself in.

enre: Romance, novella, fiction

My summary: Rosie treats her sister, Bree, to an expensive spa package together on Valentine’s Day. Rosie ends up locked in a float tank, which is her typical luck in life, and they have to call the fire department to get her out. Leo is tasked with talking to her and keeping her calm while they figure out how to free her, and they connect through their talking while they wait.

My thoughts: It’s hard to have expectations of story development in 44 pages, but this took a lot of leaps that I just wasn’t feeling. The humor mostly missed the mark for me too. And I love float tanks and they’re not at all like they’re described here, so, yeah, this one is not my favorite of this collection of short meet cutes.

Okay. LOVED the Christina Lauren, depressed by the Abby Jimenez, and extremely triggered by this one! I have really bad claustrophobia so this was tough for me to read. It was definitely sweet and I laughed out loud at the end, but having to spend the bulk of the novella trapped in a flotation tank with Rosie was TOUGH. I really should have read the description before starting this!! Hopefully, the rest of the series will be a bit fluffier and less triggering!

LEO!!! 🥹

These meet cute shorts are stealing my heart! The precious turn of events at the end of this one made me kick my feet and squeal. I think this one is tied for my favorite!
