Thank you St. Martins Press for the free copy of this book.
- This book! THANK YOU FOR SHARING is exactly what I want in a romance novel: great banter, excellent tension, working to understand past traumas, and immense character growth.
- Every character in this book has such a big personality. I'd read a novel centering any of the side characters (but please please a book for Neen first!) I adored them all, even when they were being frustrating.
- On top of all that goodness, I've never read a novel featuring two mixed race Jewish adults before (plus Liyah is queer on top of that). I love that romance is a place where identity and and the tough conversations and experiences around it can be explored with nuance and care.

This book is everything you want out of a romcom. It's sweet and charming and I'm 100% in love with all of the characters. I want a whole follow up book about Neen.
The only reason it isn't 5 stars for me is that some of the notes from the SSC meeting feel a little disjointed. Overall it was a great fun read.
