my bullet-point review:
• i wasnt sure if i would like this story based on the introduction to our lead woman character but as i got to know cherry and ruben i knew this would be such an enjoyable read for me
• the sexual tension in this book is very high. i had no idea that this book would have smut and so many moments where they are intimate in some way.
• this was a rare occasion where i loved all of the main/side characters that we read about consistently throughout the story.
• the chemistry that cherry and ruben have makes me SWOON. the way they can't help but to let their gaurds down around each other is that classic romcom feel that i've been needing. they bring the best out of each other over the time we spend with them in this book. as ridiculous as the plot is, this makes it all seem more realistic.
• i have such a love/hate relationship with the pacing and writing style of this book. on one hand, i loved that it was straight to the point and doesn’t prolong for the sake of hitting a word count. i just wanted a bit more of a slow burn when it came to their feelings developing for each other. it feels like 2-3 weeks passed and they were already in love. i was also unsure of how much time they had spent together because there’s no real mention of how much time had passed beyond the day they met each other.
