This is my second read from this author, and she is definitely on-brand for sweet, clean rom-coms with lots of fun tropes to help escape life for a while.

I met these two in the last book, and was excited to read their story. Friends to lovers is always fun. Both knew they liked the other, and, to be honest, so did everyone else in town. Their chemistry was undeniable. But the heroine still tried, even when the hero was doing his best to point out the elephant in the room.

Concerning that, I could really relate to the heroine, dealing with anxiety as she was. However, I did not understand how her inferiority complex could latch onto her father's debt and use it as a reason to make herself feel unworthy of the hero's love. I mean, even her father was dating, so why couldn't she? I understand being too stressed out and needing to focus on just one thing, but that's entirely different from trying to push the man you love off on someone else because of family drama.

As for the hero, I loved him and is sense of humor. He had a really fun alter ego, and I always love alter egos. All around, it was fun watching these two develop their respective relationships with their family, friends, and own futures as well as their own relationship with each other.

Note to more sensitive readers: I can't think of anything objectionable.

I received a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

This book is perfect for anyone looking for a clean, breezy rom-com.
