First and foremost thank you to Netgalley for giving me a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved loved loved this book! It wasn't what I was expecting at all but I just couldn't put this book down. The story follows Merit--a mother who is getting back into the work force--and her architect boss Jane over the course of a couple of years. 

I read the majority of it in two sittings because Merit and Jane's story kept pulling me in. I loved the pacing of this book, both the slow burn romance aspect but also the gradual progression of Merit learning more about herself.

Anyways, get this book at soon as it comes out it was SO GOOD!
