Really fun read with surprising depth for a rom-com. I just get frustrated when a story's main conflict boils down to a lack of communication.

I LOVED this book. I read this book shortly after reading Emily Henry's "Book Lovers" and loved this one almost as much. This one was a little harder for me to get into at first, because I felt like the chapters were a little longer than Book Lovers' but once I got into it, I could NOT put it down. I loved Gus so much. I think January was very relatable (a fellow struggling writer lol). I loved the diversity of the cast. Everything about this book was mwah. I highly recommend if you're looking for something with the rivals to lovers trope (one of my personal favorites).

When I say "religious bigotry" I mean that a good portion of the book talks about religious cults. There wasn't a much better tag to choose but this is what I meant!

I really like the main characters. I love good revitalization between them and their going out to form their normal comfort zone. Love the enemies to lovers trope here. It's a good book. It also shows how hard is to go through the death of the parent and how much secrets and miss communication can really damage relationships.

This was a wonderful book. I am not surprised by that considering that I’ve read Emily Henry’s books before. The only disappointing part was that I expected to cry and didn’t. That definitely doesn’t take away from how much I loved the romance between the main characters. I think the book was also extremely funny at times. January and Gus’s banter was perfection, absolutely my favorite part. I also really appreciated how we got to see their books unfolded at the end. 100% would recommend this book for summer.
