I liked that the main characters came from opposing worlds, very wholesome. I really relate to Naomi's attitude to intimacy, felt very seen. Otherwise, the pacing was a bit off and just read a little odd

This was an unexpected hit for me, I enjoyed the first book in the series, but not nearly as much as this one. Naomi and Ethan are truly multidimensional characters that are a pleasure to get to know. Everyone judges Naomi for her past and her choice of career. Everyone bases their opinions of Ethan on his job. It was really interesting to see the pair work through those presumptions, showing who they truly were and growing closer together.

It's been a couple weeks since I read this, catching up on reviews, it's possible I missed some content warnings.
