I love the character development in this book. January and Gus are so cute. I also love the unique name given to the main character. ☺️

I liked it. Forced proximity, enemies to lovers who’ve secretly been fawning over each other not as enemies since the beginning. I thought it interesting to consider a romance novelist losing her faith in romance at the same time a more cynical writer may want to explore the nuance in a more optimistic way. Honestly only reason it’s not a 5 is I thought the spicey scenes were a little short after all the build up

This book took me two tries to get through but I  glad I made it to the end.  Although the overall arc is romance there was A Lot to unpack.  The fathers in fidelity and how that affected how she interacted with Gus. I loved her growth throughout the books.  I reall enjoyed the messiness of the relationship.   Over all goodread.
