I really like this book! The chemistry of the lead characters are beyond. The lines are funny and witty. The dilemma and resolution was on point for me. I was able relate with the story. This is just what I needed to look up and lift up 💕

I loved this book so much! Milly is a hustler. She hustles so hard she didn't see a bus coming as she crosses the street and ends up getting hit by the bus. When she awakes she's in a hospital and has been in a coma for a week, and when her ex boyfriend Jed shows up at the hospital and finds out he is still good friends with her family. It seems her luck has run out. Her roommate kicks her out, her freelance work has dried up and she can't come home with her family because of construction. So where does that lead her? Back to her ex's spare room. There he helps her realize that maybe those issues were blessing in disguises and soon they're friends again. But can they just be friends after all that history? And can you admit it when those feelings bubble up to the surface. 

This wasn't corny or cheesy or soap opera-y. I couldn't stop turning the page. I finished it in 24 hours. I feel like a lot of us are stuck in the hustler harder grind and this was a great read that made me think about changing your perspective and stepping back from that culture. I loved Milly's relationship with her brothers family. And somehow when all the bad stuff is happening, somehow it didn't stress me out or be like "geez what else can go wrong" it was the perfect amount of error. 

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest reivew.
