Thanks to Ally Williams, I was able to receive an ARC for her debut novel!
CONTENT WARNINGS: Explicit sexual content, foul language, a parent with advanced dementia, and the sexual assault of a side character.
I loved this book, it was such a fun time! I especially find books that focus on the MCs jobs to be very interesting, even though I don’t understand the half of it.
And oh my god, the bows! I was kicking my feet when he first picked up her bow and then returned it to her later. And then he continued to buy her more bows? AWWWEEEEE
I enjoyed how realistic the MCs were, both flawed but refreshing to say the least. Although, when Charlie first made his proposal, he gave me the ICK! But I can put it aside for the sake of him just being a book boyfriend (if this happened to me irl, I would grab my pepper spray and start running) c:
One of my favorite things about this book is how it focused on the friends-with-benefits aspect. It didn’t rely solely on the benefits part, but more on the friends part. They actually confided in each other about things in their daily lives (like friends actually do). I adored that about Charlie and Annabel. Although I will not lie, I would have loved more detailed spice (coming from a girlie who loves some chemistry)
It was a nice, cozy slice of life read. I was empathizing with all the characters (minus Layla–out the window) and it broke my heart to read about Charlie’s mom.
I enjoyed this book and will for sure be tuning in to the rest of the series c;
