What a slow burn,

it took them over 100 pages to actually meet!

But I did enjoy the slow-burn and how sweet and thoughtful Leon was, not rushing into it.

It was interesting to see the whole Justin thing progress as she started seeing the emotional abuse he inflicted for what it was, as she went on her healing journey!

All the x’s (kisses) after the messages they’d write for each other was so cringe but it’s British so whatever, it’s expected.

I had really high expectations for this book and I wasn't much disappointed. I really enjoyed it! It's the kind of romance that makes you want to keep reading. My favorite part about it is that it reminded me very much of Bridget Jones' Diary and I loved that! The characters were both well developed and certainly very likable.

There was more dimension to the story than just the romance - at least two significant ongoing struggles in each main character's life that made them feel three dimensional.

If you like steamy romance books then you will like this one. There are NO explicit sex scenes (only implied), which I appreciated. The sexual tension is very steamy though.

I do have a couple of other content warnings to mention, if these are things you like to avoid:

Swearing (fair bit, pretty much runs the gamut)
Abusive/Gaslighting relationships

I haven’t read a comfy rom-com in awhile and I’ve seen this book going around last year and decided to finally pick this up and OMG🥹 this was so cute and beautifully written. I love Tiffy and Leon’s relationship! Especially in the beginning when their friendship developed through notes to each other around the flat before they’ve met and how it’s so innocent and sweet. I also love the mc’s friendships because it adds a layer of comfort and playfulness in the story that makes you love all the characters even more.

My first one bed trope book and I rly liked it! I loved tiffy and Leon’s dynamic. It’s mildly opposites attract and worked out so well. All the side characters didn’t feel like side characters; they had their own life and color, were so fully fleshed out. Third act conflict was great bc it was more than just normal miscommunication, there’s a nuance to it.
