Jules NEVER misses.

This book was so sweet and heartfelt, plus witty, laugh out loud funny, and so warm and cozy. I loved the roomance, the anonymous penpals, and all the hijinx, teasing, and sweet and tense moments.

HIGHLY recommend!

This was just July cup of tea!

📚 secret pen pals
📚  brothers best friends
📚 “he’s got golden retriever energy”

📚 dual POV

🚫 clean romance

|Synopsis|

Calls heads home after graduating with no job, nowhere to live and no money to her name. Her brother suggests she move in with his best friend, Nathan. They’ve had nothing but awkward encounters up til now but they are unaware that they’ve been anonymous pen pals for a decade. 

|Thoughts|

Words cannot describe just how sweet this book is. You’ll just want to give Nathan a hug and I just sped through this in one day because I was so invested. 

Waiting for the moment when they’d finally realise who the other really was. 

It is a slow burn in some ways and at least there is a reason for why these two take their time. 

“Threw myself onto my bed, face in my pillow, and let out a sigh. Luke’s sister. Luke’s sister. Luke’s little baby sister”. 

Probably the only thing holding me back from 5 stars was that he was a clean romance. And I mean super clean! 

Nathan was a bit (a lot) or a pushover, would have liked him to stop the people pleasing so much but I suppose that’s part of his charm. And did I mention he has a special handshake with each of the students he tutors?

“I couldn’t say no. Just the thought of saying that word made my skin itch”. 

I did think they would have clued on earlier as to who the other was. But the whole pen pals aspect was engaging and added a nice extra element to their love story. 

“Calls Wells was overwhelming in ever sense; her presence was overpowering, her beauty captivating, and her laughter contagious”

Plus some of my favourite tropes. Brothers best friend and pen pals. 

“There was no way to deny the chemistry between us. Because naturally, there would be chemistry. Forced proximity was a classic trope in many of my favourite romance novels”

“I like that you make everyone around you fall in love with you…including me. Especially me”
