Live, love, Lynn. Honestly I will read anything she write because I drink that shit up!

Liz and we are the cutest and it has all the basic tropes making it perfect for first time romance readers to get hooked on with tropes including:
•fake dating
•high school romance
•hometown romance
•next door neighbours
•frenemies to lovers 
• even jock ft nerd in its own unique twist. 

I love how even though grief underlays this story it brings the characters together and reveals their true selves.  I’ll reccomend anything she writes but I really loved the modesty of this one especially with it not having spice.
