This was my first book by Samantha and wow I’m impressed, her characters are written with so much heart and depth. I love college age romance as there is so much growth and discovery. Be warned this book has a lot of angst and all the will they won’t they vibes but it’s so worth it for the end. The narrators did a fabulous jobs and I loved the accents I feel like I was transported to Scotland!

Lily is in her senior year and her course load is a lot. She hosts a podcast and shares relatable relationship advice. She has some skeletons in her closets when it comes to her previous relationship and she hopes she can prevent others experiencing the same thing. She is passionate and it means a lot to her. It’s one of the reasons she is studying Psychology. So when a rival podcast tries to undermine her work she doesn’t take it well, and she finds out one of the guys involved is Sebastian. 

Sebastian is 30th online to the British throne but he doesn’t like to share that detail, he is studying civil engineering student but his true passion is art. He has a reputation as a player as he has some past trauma that prevents him from letting anyone get too close. But he’s drawn to Lilly. The only problem is she doesn’t want anything to do with him.

So Sebastian has to level up his game and show her he cares so he volunteers for a psych experiment just to talk. Lily decides to give him a chance and let him in, there is definitely chemistry between them. But Sebastian makes it very clear he is only looking for friendship but hoping Lily can be a big part of his life.  Friendship is not always easy when there is attraction and with time lines blur and that trust that is built bleeds into more, but can they handle more?
