Seth and Torrance, the bosses, had their own odd dynamic. They would have moments of self-reflection, even times when they would call out their toxic behavior, but then they would undercut any progress by a) continuing to make the workplace terrible, b) sharing too many personal details, or c) interfering in their employees' personal lives.Ā
I don't know. I think even the sweet moments and positive representation were overshadowed for me by not being on board with the Set It Up/Parent Trap storyline.

Iām not Jewish, but Rachel Lynn Solomon is, and I really appreciate how she navigates the different charactersā relationships to their own faith and heritage. I loved all the moments of Jewish joy, from the family Shabbat dinner to the bat mitzvah towards the end. As an outsider looking in, it feels like a privilege to experience stories that are fictional and still feel informed by an authors lived experiences.
It definitely was a breath of fresh air to have a fat love interest in a romance! Iām pretty sure this is the first romance Iāve ever read where a man was anything but super jacked & thin. I appreciated Ā the conversation around fat being a neutral descriptive word and calling out people who are āconcerned for their healthā. I would love to see the review / opinion of more fat folks re: how they felt about this representation.Ā
Overall, not a mind-blowing or life-changing novel, but after this second 4-star read from RLS, I now know I can rely on one of her books for a pick-me-up romance & will be a go-to in the future!Ā
