i wanted to love this but i just couldn’t. i didn’t really like the writing style and the dialogue just felt so awkward and unnatural. it also didn’t help that i didn’t like peaches or jamie that much as characters or as a couple.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
I must admit that I was super excited to read this book. Friends-to-lovers is my absolute favourite genre. However, at the time that I received the ARC, I feel that the slow pace of the work was not for me. I do think that Kiana outlined the way relationships that stem from friendships have many aspects to consider that romance novels tend to brush over.
That being said, it's because of the slow pacing that I attempted to read the book thrice and eventually DNF'd it. In order to not affect the book rating, I'm giving the book the average rating at the time of my posting this review.

I struggled some with the POV and the dialogue, but I ultimately decided to DNF because I didn’t feel the connection between the characters and didn’t like how the first almost-spicy time went. When Peaches wanted to know what them hooking up would mean and Jaime got mad because Peaches didn’t want to have sex right that second, it was over for me. I also didn’t love how much focus there was on Jaime’s femininity and Peaches’ masculinity.
