This was the perfect palate cleanser I needed. I had such a fun time with this book. I didn’t realise the characters from next of kin would be in this one. That definitely was a pleasant surprise. I really liked this one. I think I preferred it to next of kin.

I found this book really relatable for me right now. Lane at the start of the book is how I feel in my own life right now. Just stuck while your friends are all moving on with life. The timing of me reading this one is a bit crazy. At the start of the book lane turns 27 which funnily enough I also turn 27 in a few days. I just felt validated and seen with this book.

I really enjoyed the chemistry and the banter between Lane and Matt. He is the sweetest guy ever. It was super fun to read a light hearted fun romance.

Definitely recommend this one.
