Yeah, I'm giving this five stars before I've even finished it.

So I tried to start writing this review and my brain is just absolutely fried from how crazy hot this book is. Scorching. Alec Kim. Oh good lord.
I have to tell you, friends, I do not like instalove. It's one of my least favorite tropes, give me a slow burn any day. And yet. AND YET. This is now one of my favorite romance books ever?? Ivy Owens, what is this witchcraft?
The connection between Gigi and Alec is just developed so well and feels really believable even though it's fast. Their shared history, maturity, and communication are a huge part of this and balance out their incredible chemistry in the best way. And that chemistry! Did I mention this book is hot?
If you are a romance lover DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BOOK. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and swoony and sexy and a little angsty (messed up my own alliteration there but the angst has to be mentioned because it is *chef’s kiss*).
This book was magic, the perfect giddy burst of joy every time I thought about it (which was all the time). I kept sneaking away from all the things I was supposed to be doing to read just one more chapter. I'm already plotting my next reread, I need alllll the serotonin this book provides.
Thank you so much to Gallery Books and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
