This is probably going to stay a top romcom for me as I read through 2023. I loved the banter in this opposites attract story of celebrity girl falls for regular guy. What really put this one over the top for me was the fact that the main characters don't get to the 80% mark, and then one of them does something stupid that could destroy what they have. I've gotten really tired of the self sabotage in many romcoms, so it was refreshing to see characters fall in love and do what they need to make it.
