Lana is very relatable (almost to a fault). As a serial monogamist, I was very invested in her journey of discovering independence. There of course was always going to be the hiccup of the fact that this is a romance book so she's not going to end up alone. But it was still cute. I do think the Marvel references were a little heavy handed and she's started to lean into pick-me territory. Also I did appreciate the self awareness of her privilege but she still did come across and a "poor little rich girl" a times.
Seth was fun. Their back-and-forths were fun to read and I liked getting to see his layers peel away.
Ballard is a go-to for me. I'm excited to see how her writing and storytelling continue to develop. My only ask of her really is to diversify her casts a bit.

i loved lana and seth’s relationship and i always like a second-chance romance and it’s even better when they grew up together and know each better than anyone.
because of the fact they grew up together i do wish we got some flashbacks into where everything went wrong, instead of the mc just explaining it. i also wish there were more snippets of lana and seth’s articles, since they were such a big part of the story.
the storyline was a little predictable, but honestly what romcom book isn’t. this was very enjoyable and i think the author has become an insta-buy for me.
Moderate: Sexual content
