This was fun and cute and extremely silly. 😆 A pretty standard contemporary romance, except I'd say the premise/meet-cute is quite unique.
As a Tusconan, I enjoyed reading this book from a local author, taking place in our city. Recognizing some places she mentioned and this hobby/profession that is very prevalent here (even if it's not a hobby of mine). I honestly was expecting more specific Tucson references and love, and felt slightly let down on that front. But it was still fun.
I liked both of our main characters and identified a surprising amount with one of them. Also enjoyed the best friend characters, however tropey. And definitely appreciated the casual diversity throughout(except for the promiscuous bisexual trope, sigh) .
I will say this was QUITE spicy. 💀 At least much more than I expected, and starting much sooner than I expected. And the spice was written well, but I found a lot of it to be pretty goofy. 😅 But hey, whatever gets you going lol.
Overall, a fun and bingeable read.
