Okay… deep breath. Let me just gather myself for a second…

This is hands down my favourite Hannah Bonam-Young book to date — I’m obsessed with all of them. But something about this one hit differently.

The whole story felt like a hug in book form. Like Lane’s description of Matt: “a walking hot-water bottle. A favorite blanket. A cozy hoodie. A cup of tea delivered with a kiss on the forehead.” That’s exactly how this book felt. Comforting, gentle, and full of heart.

The friends-with-benefits trope is my least favourite, but this one? Perfect. Tender, honest, and so emotionally satisfying. 💛
