Rosie Danan where have you been hiding?!?
This was fantastic! the sheer back and forth of the dialogue got me the minute that Clara and Josh met! That first meet-cute that developed into friends into more, read as a natural progression of strangers to friends, to crushing and oh man you had me. You had me!
Clara's inner monologue's were good but I absolutely loved Josh's because every single one of those moments has him looking at Clara in away that she would never have seen herself as and I was giddy with emotion. I swear it was like reading a character get all heart eyes when he realizes that these emotions aren't going to go away and Clara trying to be respectable once she knows about Josh's job but she's just equally crushing on him and I was done. Done.
Fell in love and need to read about Naomi because she needs her own book too.
