These two quotes pretty much sum up my relationship with this book if you just replace Theo’s name and his related pronouns with the title of this book.

“How did I not see this? How could I not have seen this incredible man for what he is? In a matter of life-altering hours, Theo has just become the most irresistible man I’ve ever known. If I’m completely honest, I’ve been falling for him, in pieces, since the night we met.”

I’m so glad I didn’t skip out on this bcs it was LOL hilarious and unputdownable. I was taken by surprise bcs this didn’t feel like the Kate Stewart book I’d read in January. I suppose this was bcs it’s a romcom while the last one I read was more angst ridden adult romance.

“I might’ve fallen slowly, but I just landed impossibly deep.”

The characters were refreshing even though the H could get quite annoying when he was all judgy and whiny. The h is batshit crazy and unapologetically herself. The banter had me cracking up with tears in my eyes. The story had a ton of heart and just the right amount of angst. The romance did ‘slow burn’ justice.

Admittedly sometimes I felt like the book was going nowhere bcs the H and h kept goofing around with each other until a little more than halfway through the book. In addition, I think the blurb is quite misleading bcs the OM drama didn’t fully manifest until about 80% into the book.

That being said, I wasn’t at all turned off by this. The humor had enough in it to help me fly through the pages and the writing was flawless. I’d for sure recommend this, especially those who love friends to lovers books! Or if you’re currently in a slump, I think this book might just be the one to save you.
