As someone who struggles with anxiety, I appreciate the representation so much. I also did have a hard time reading the main characters inner dialogue and it didn't put me in the best headspace, so read with caution if that is something you also struggle with. 

I did enjoy the overall topic, I have never read a dental themed romance and did enjoy the characters even if they were all very frustrating at times. I am looking forward to continuing the series.

Major content warning for a main character with intense anxiety.

I think Mazey Eddings is becoming one of my favorite authors.

This is my third time reading her work (I previously read Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake and Tilly in Technicolor as e-ARCs) and it's so delightful every time I read one of her works. I did enjoy going back to the book that started it all and I got to understand the characters from Eddings' A Brush with Love series in a new light (I know that sounds weird but I wasn't aware that Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake was the second book in a series when I got the e-ARC, so this is me catching up lol). 

Also, the fact that she includes neurodivergent voices as leads in her books is so inspiring and really makes me feel seen in the romance genre as a #ActuallyAutistic book reviewer. I could relate to Harper so much in this book and I think Eddings does a great job with handling her anxiety in an accurate and respectful portrayal that readers can relate to. Plus, the fact of Dan dealing with his own mental health struggles while also being so sweet to Harper made my heart melt and root for them so hard in the book. 

Overall, I love Eddings' work the more I read her work and I think you'll feel the same way too. If you're looking for a sweet rom-com that has more depth and emotion, I would definitely recommend this book.

I’d just like to preface this with the fact that I listened to this on audiobook, which I don’t normally do. I just really did not love this one. I really related to Harper and her anxiety, but some of the things she did just frustrated me so much. She constantly led Dan on and then rejected him. I also didn’t love this as an audiobook. This was my first romance audiobook, so that could be part of it, but some of the parts just made me cringe listening to it. Maybe I would’ve liked this one more if I had read it instead. I loved Harper’s friend group though, so I’m planning to continue the series.
