I don't think I've ever read an exes to lovers trope so here we are and it was fun!!! Loved it as much as I thought I was going to.

Rita & Milan were high school sweethearts before Milan randomly broke up with her after 6 years. Now- 6 years later, she's dating Neil (her ok boyfriend but would never get approved by her mom) and she's actually still lowkey still not over Milan. Their moms try to set them up again because Rita's a furniture & interior designer and Milan is a real estate agent and has had trouble selling a house. She agrees to help him but wants to DOUBLE CHEck & have proof that her and neil are THE match. So she signs up for this dating app but instead it says that Milan is her 100% match lol.

SO CUTE. I do wish that the 'conflict' part was...not what it ended up being?

re: communication. like the whole reason they broke up was because of miscommunication and he didnt even trY to win her back AFTER SIX YEARS and it was all because she broke her phone after his first voicemail and didnt hear the rest of his voicemail or get the rest of his calls

I wish it was something more dramatic but I guess it was pretty realistic. Cute book~! Quite a slow burn but i also loved the humor in it and their interactions. JUST TELL EACH OTHER YOU LOVE EACH OTHER ALREADY

Spoiler

the only reason why this isnt 5 stars is because THE WHOLE REASON WAS BECAUSE OF MISCOMMUNICATION !??!?!??! LOL BRUH.
