The second in a series, this is Isaac and Rosie’s story. 

Isaac is the twin brother of Dani from the first book in the series, Love Redesigned. He’s been a moderately famous YouTuber for the better part of his life and hasn’t been very serious about dating. 

Rosie has been a fan of Isaac’s YouTube channel since high school and has always loved him from afar. She got the opportunity to move to Charleston to work on his team and her friends (also friends with Isaac) convince her to tell him how she feels. Rosie deals with anxiety but comes up with a plan to message Isaac on Instagram as someone else (a different version of herself) to have him get to know her in a low pressure way. 

Though having my own anxiety, I did get a bit frustrated with Rosie and her hesitations towards things but I also can’t blame her. This book felt a little “hurry up and wait” and was definitely a slow burn. Isaac and Rosie have awesome banter and complement each other well. 

Overall, very cute story with an
