Happy Pub Day!! 🥳🥰
Whew! This was my first read by Falon Ballard, and it most certainly won't be my last! A huge thanks to NetGalley, Falon Ballard, and Penguin Group Putnam for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This book has all the vibes of a early 2000 romcom, and I was totally here for it! (think How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days)
Lana Parker is a love and relationships columnist for a LA- publication, who gets the shock of her life, when her ex-boyfriend shows up as the new hire for her company. Lana has been a serial-monogamist since Seth broke her heart 12 years ago, and she suddenly finds herself single right before he arrives in town. To make matters worse, her boss uses her single-ness to her advantage to pit Lana and Seth against each other for a position in her dream job.
You could feel the tension between Lana and Seth, and there was the perfect blend of chemistry, angst and banter. I love a single first POV and a good slow burn, and this checked both of those boxes. 😍 (also - sunflowers 🌻😭 IYKYK)
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶 (two open door scenes)
Tropes: Second Chance Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Workplace Romance
CW: abandonment
This book is published today, so definitely grab a copy if you haven't pre-ordered!
