"i need you in my life like i need air, annie. you have wrecked me in the best way i could ever imagine, and i'll never be the same. never want to be the same."

the story follows annie, who struggles to find love with her innocent and sweet personality. to gain confidence, she accepts help from will, the bodyguard of her brother's pop-star fiancee. however, the more they practice, the more that she develops real feelings for will.

give me a sarah adams book and i will definitely eat it up. here's my first five-star read this 2025!

plot: ⭐️ 5.0

first of all, the plot and writing style of this book is magical and entertaining. i don't know but there is really something about sarah adams' books that will immediately get your full attention just by reading the first chapter.

i like the emotions that the story had made me feel. sometimes, it just feels good when there is a person who will support you to become who you want to be, and someone who will bring out the real and best version of you.

characters: ⭐️ 5.0

i absolutely love how the story started, the main characters' first encounter was heart-warming, and that specific scenario really satisfied one of my bookworm fantasies.

annie is so perfect, and i can completely relate to her in some aspects. her perspective in life is what i admire the most. on the other hand, will is my weakness. he is someone most book lovers will surely fantasize about. imagine a bad boy with soft side? sign me the freak up for it!

there is honestly nothing to dislike about all the characters in this book. i also like that noah and amelia from when in rome—one of my favorite main leads—was also a part of this book.

ending: ⭐️ 5.0

there are lots of parts in this book that i would like to highlight—everytime annie calls will in different names, which is hilarious, the endless bickerings between amelia and will, noah being supportive towards annie and will's relationship, and a lot more. 

this is how exactly a romcom should be. the whole story is a perfect combination of different tropes. honestly, i stayed up all day to read this and it felt like therapy, just like what will said in the book. this is one of the best romcoms i've ever read and i will highly recommend this without hesitation.
