I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was set in Australia, as an Aussie it made me able to connect with the characters more. I also loved the Jose and Zac as characters, they felt real and flawed and I enjoyed their dynamic with each other. Murray really showed their awkwardness if leaning to be friends again after what they have been through while also showing their deep physical and emotional attraction to each other. Which is not an easy thing to do, but Murray is able to achieve. The reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because it was marketed as an Aussie Emily Henry book, while their are many similarities between this book and Henry's work, Murray's writing lack what magic Emily Henry's has. But, don't get me wrong this book is still amazing and utterly perfect for any Rom Com lovers, Aussie or not.
