This was a good palate cleanser from all of the thrillers I’ve been reading. I enjoyed the descriptions of the landscape of this book!

When you text your friend throughout this book, just cringing...

There was so much about this book that just needed help. This book needed at least another round of edits, and maybe some beta readers.

Let's talk about some of the technical things I couldn't get behind:
The beer law in Utah changed in 2019 and this was published in 2021. It wasn't a big thing so it could have easily been fixed in editing if she wrote this prior to 2019.
If someone eats an entire bag of edibles, they are in outer space. They are not "just a little bit out of it"
Mind blowing sex does not include a "beard burn". If he's using his chin down there, he's doing it wrong...

Now there's some more serious things. I absolutely hated both of the main characters. I hate that Drew shares a birthday with my dog (although he's totally a Sagittarius. And that is not a compliment) The MC is also just completely irritating and I couldn't care less about this romance.

I didn't enjoy her other book either, and I had high hopes for this book, but after this, I just don't think she's the author for me...

so good!

I enjoyed this book! It. I might have taken a while to read it due to work and busy schedules, but I loved every part of this book! Brings you through emotions of mush and pissed off, but in all good reasons lol.

• Strong character development? No

2.5

Unrealistic dialogue. All of the conflict between the love interests was due to very easily avoidable miscommunication. It felt repetitive. A lot of focus on the physical attributes that made each character unbelievable “hot”— personally I don’t care for these details. Some steamy scenes but the dialogue still made it feel unrealistic.

Solid rom-com about a meet cute on a subway that turns into coworkers on a television shoot in Utah. Spicy, sweet and fun. Some of the dialogue wasn't my favorite but overall a good read
