How to Belong with a Billionaire by Alexis Hall

5.0

Oh my god this book… be. still. my. heart. I literally couldn’t put it down. I’m not sure this would work for everyone, especially since the MCs spend most of the page time with other people or actively avoiding each other, but some of my favorite romance tropes are here and they just sing beautifully. The angst! The longing! The devastating heartbreak. ♥️The intensely awkward interaction during every scene with all three of Nathaniel, Caspian and Arden were just *chef’s kiss* perfect cringe. From the “surprise your ex is engaged to someone else so fast!”, to being forced to interview them about their love story, to the oh dear god that dinner scene was as delicious for me to read as any fancy dish that Nathaniel could have possibly cooked up. I love the emphasis on Ardy’s heartbreak and range of side character relationships that are so affectionately developed in his time apart from Caspian. And don’t get me started on Caspian’s big “Lydia ran away with Mr. Wickham let me save the day” moment that gave me all the swoony feels. I loved everything about this with maybe the exception that it ended too soon and I am not ready to let any of these fantastic characters go.
