The Co-Op was cute and very fun!

I am always a fan of forced proximity romance, though second chance can be hit or miss for me. I think they balanced each other out pretty well in this case, and while the book didn’t wow me I still had a good time with it.

Read this if you love
🩵 Forced proximity
🩵 Marriage of convenience
🩵 Second chance romance
🩵 Hate to love
🩵 No third act breakup

I think that the book started to fizzle out a little bit toward the end, but the last two chapters were quite lovely. Definitely a lighthearted, low-angst romance. 3.75 stars.

The main guy character in this book talking about getting a tattoo only for the main guy character in Funny Feeling to get a tattoo warmed my hopeless romantic heart. This book is a solid five starts, there are no faults in this book. Tarah Dewitt is the newest author that I'm obsessed with.

SURPRISINGLY good! Their rivalry to romance felt very natural, and this whole story felt very real. Loved it!

This book gave very 'You Deserve Each Other' vibes with the forced proximity, emotional baggage and second chance trope but I was all for it! I really enjoyed the writing (it wasn't cringy therefore it is good because that is literally how low the bar is right now) and the pacing of the book, but it did feel a little rushed in some places. Love the name La Rynn, it's so pretty, and her character development gave me all the good feels. Deacon was a bit forgettable though. Overall a cute romance to drown out the sorrows of life in :)
