“You’ve always been my true north.”
*CRIES*
This was childhood friends to lovers to strangers to enemies to (kinda) friends to lovers excellence.
After reading Lease on Love earlier this year, and absolutely loving it, I was so excited to dive into this one by Falon Ballard!
Lana Parker is a serial monogamist. After getting her heart broken at 18 by her high school boyfriend, and childhood best friend, Lana jumps from long term relationship to long term relationship. She also is the writer for the relationship column at a popular LA website, ATF. After being dumped by her boyfriend of four years, Lana finds out her first love, and the one man she hates, is her new coworker.
Seth Carson has jumped from town to town since he graduated, never staying in one place for too long. After twelve years of being on the road, he’s ready to settle down— in LA of all places. He finds himself taking a job at a newspaper, only to find out he has to start out at their newly acquired website first. Only to realize one of his new coworkers was his high school sweetheart.
The two have insane chemistry, which leads their boss to pit them against each other in a competition that could make their careers. Since Lana is a serial monogamist who needs to learn to be single, she has to complete tasks and write about being single. Meanwhile, Seth has to learn how to settle down and become relationship material. Each of them have to complete ten tasks pre-chosen by the other. The person with the most votes at the end of the ten weeks gets the job. But while the competition heats up, their past and their feelings continue to surface.
This book was everything I needed in a romance. Seth Carson and Lana Parker are a dream and I loved every single second of their story. I can not put into words how much I loved this book. Their banter is so much fun to read and these characters came to life right before my eyes.
The ending was everything I ever wanted. Honestly I need the movie NOW. (No there’s not a movie but a girl can dream, okay?!)
I really want to slap their boss as well. She’s the worst.
There’s a few When Harry Met Sally references in the book and I screamed. It’s also giving major How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days vibes.
Read this in February if you like:
• How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and/or When Harry Met Sally
• Friends to lovers
• Second chance romance
• Self discovery
• Competitions
• Forced proximity
