The story follows two neighbours, one a cheery, never been handed anything, rookie interior designer, not even out of school yet; the other a large scale land developer, who usually just throws money at people to make them do things his way, but is trying to make a go at actually doing the work himself for once. And when he’s slated for a magazine article, the writer sees their chemistry, and insists that they need to work together for a three series spread in the famous House & Home home renovation magazine.

I’ll leave it there, but know that the forced proximity of working together, their similar but completely opposite upbringing, all plays a part in how this goes down. I enjoyed this one, it’s cute, the secondary characters are great as well. But personally, I like steam, and it turned a bit too lovey dovey for me near the end.

This one is out today! And I want to thank NetGalley, St Martins Press and Sophie Sullivan for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
