This might be the best “palate cleanser rom com” I’ve ever read. It felt like all the romcoms of the 90s rolled into one and made me feel all the warm and fuzzies.

This one-night stand turned friends-to-lovers novel revisits many common tropes as Sawyer Greene tries to “ruin romance” for Mason West.

Sawyer is a romance author, suffering from writer’s block because she no longer believes in love. She’s been abandoned, more than once, and now she’s afraid to let anyone in. Mason West is an actor who is in love with the idea of love. He keeps finding “the one”… and then losing her. After an elevator meet-cute and steamy night together, they team up to help “cure” one another.

This book could have stayed in fluffy rom-com territory, but it digs a little deeper. Yes, this book is filled with cheesy tropes, but the book itself isn’t cheesy. Really, it’s a book about how past relationships, in all of their forms, can teach us the wrong ways to love. Without spoiling anything, both Mason and Sawyer’s romantic foibles make sense in light of their baggage.

Come for the plethora of romance tropes, stay for the stellar chemistry and character development. The metaphor with the glass and plastic balls will stay with me for a long time. And the stocking scene!

This review is specifically for the audiobook version, which was well performed by both narrators. I usually prefer to read a book before listening to it, so I might update this review once I can read it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for this audiobook, provided in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
