Liv like rules. And structure. And making her life into a perfect set of tailored expectations. But with the encouragement of some friends (and alcohol!) she learns that she can say “no”! She takes six weeks off work and books a flight to meet up with her college friends in South Africa. But when she doesn’t have a place to stay, she rooms with Deiss - her friend she’s been attracted to since college. What could go wrong?

I adored this book. Deiss is so swoony and irresistible. Liv’s character development is phenomenal as she shows a lot of growth.

It’s a friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, man who can’t commit kinda romance and basically all my favorite things.

Thank you Putnam for the ARC. Such a perfect summer book!
