“It seems to me, Annie, that you are just waiting for someone to give you permission to be yourself out loud.”

There’s just something about Rome, Kentucky that I adore! This book was so sweet and funny! I was laughing on just about every page! I absolutely love Will and Annie! I think it’s cool that the characters have the stereotypes that wouldn’t make them right for each other, which is exactly what makes them right for each other! Both characters’ stories about trying to find out how to be themselves in the face of their trauma was really heartbreaking, yet heartwarming to watch. 
I can relate to Annie a lot, especially with Will’s assessment that she’s waiting for someone to give her permission to be the person she wants to be. It felt almost too relatable, like the book was calling me out 😂! I think Will is one of the most supportive MMC’s I’ve ever read! 
Anyone who loves fake dating where the couple basically already know they aren’t faking anything should read this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Dell, and Sarah Adams for providing me access to this book.
