Full of cliches and feels like it’s been written about Booktok/trends. The quality of writing and focus on the ‘miscommunication’ trope is awful. The romance also felt forced with no real chemistry.

**Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review**

I had so much fun with this!! It it was full of tropey goodness and I ate up every second of it. It was lighthearted, spicy, heartwarming, and didn’t take itself too seriously.

This story follows Kendall, an introverted romance reader working at her college’s library, and Vincent, popular hot shot on campus and captain of the basketball team. Any lover of romance books will totally relate to Kendall. Her friends would constantly call her out for engaging in the miscommunication trope and I was living for it. Vincent was such a sweet blushing hero, I loved how obsessed he was with Kendall from the start. Was it super instalusty? Sure, but the characters were so endearing that it didn’t bother me like it normally does in other books. They had such great banter with each other and their chemistry felt so authentic. This cover is adorable as well, so I’m glad this was such a hit for me.

This was such a fun read!
I'm a slow-burn girl through and through so I must say that the insta-lust in this book almost made me put it down. 
But I kept reading and damn, was I glad I did.
I felt so seen as a reader. Some of Kendall's inner thoughts resonated so deep within me... she's kind of my spirit animal.
And Vincent was absolutely delicious and equal parts sweet and wicked.
Definitely worth picking up if you're looking for a fun, easy read!
