I don't remember the last time I rated a romance book 5 stars, I also don't remember the last time I read a book in a day.

I loved this book so much, I love Wes and Liz together, they are so cute. This whole book is just very wholesome and cozy and I couldn't stop reading. I love all the rom-com references and the music playlists.

Fake dating trope, enemies to lovers, AND childhood friends to lovers sign me up omg

I will say, I wish this book didn’t wait until the absolute end for the ending we all wanted. I didn’t get enough time with them.
