All I did while reading this book was scream “No, don’t so that!” at Farrah in my mind. This girl is the queen of bad choices. And having no backbone. She meets Blake, the boy who broke her heart 5 years ago and takes up a job as an interior designer for his apartment. He’s willing to pay her three times her rate. She doesn’t stop to question why. And then they get together (surprise, surprise). Then he breaks her heart AGAIN because ‘she deserves so much better and he can’t give her that’. His friends give him ONE pep talk and he’s back to winning her over. And Blake doesn’t even grovel for a hot minute before Farrah is ready to take him back- I’m sorry what? What happened to ‘I’m not going to put myself through this again’? I was so done with both of them by the end. The other friends seemed cool though, I liked them. 

tropes:
second chance, boy obsessed, groveling, dual pov, workplace romance
