Dislike to love+ secret romance+ dads boss+ small town+ the most hilarious meet cute + no 3rd act breakup

Let me start by saying I laughed so hard during their meet cute/awkward first date that I had tears in my eyes. The secondhand embarrassment was real and I’m here for it. There was so much humor but also this really organic romance that Livy built. These two are thrown together over and over again and each time is funny, but you will feel the sexual tension through the page and be screaming at them to kiss already! Then the spice hits and things get really spicy! These two are like kindling waiting for a tiny spark to turn into a raging fire. I love how Mia has to come to this realization that Alex is not then man she’s built up as a bad guy in her head and how while she’s getting to know him she learns to trust not only herself but another person romantically again. There is a quote from the book “When you love the right person, they make it safe to need them.” I feel like this really summarizes their relationship. Okay so while there’s some miscommunication between the MCs it’s resolved really quickly, the main point of contention is them hiding their relationship from her dad. OF course this blows up in their face as it often does when there is a secret relationship in books. However, this book handles it so well even when hurtful things are said in the moment the resolution to them happens fairly quickly and I dare you not to tear up when it does. Mia has the most beautiful relationship with her dad and sisters while Alex has never known family dynamics like hers. The ending is of course spectacular and very sweet. There are lots of little references to The office and I loved them! I highly recommend giving Some Kind of blunderful a read especially if you like a classic romcom.
