Hot Desk by Zara Stoneley
4.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest opinion. I've had a hard time figuring out how to star this book. There was so much I loved!
I loved the conversations! I thought the notes between Alice and Jamie were so much fun. (I even put a note on my hubby's desk because it was so cute.) I also thought Alice's friends and family developed in a wonderful way. I also liked how the relationship developed between the love interest. The lies, misunderstandings, and
The couple of things that brought it down for me was mentioning the pandemic - I was NOT ready to read about it. However, it was part of the setup for the hot desk share. I was on the fence about being in Alice's head so much, and I felt like she repeated epiphanies. I'm also never a fan of f-bombs and crude language. And this one is full of "colloquial cursing".
In the end, I left it at 4 stars because I don't think I should ding stars just because I wasn't ready to think about how the pandemic affected our world and relationships. The notes, conversations, and interactions trumped everything else for me. If you love romances (especially ones taking place in England) this is the book for you!
