This book would have been a higher rating from me but the opening was a bit lackluster and I hated the climax of the story being a very easily resolved misunderstanding.Minor: Death of parent, Emotional abuse, and Injury/Injury detail

This was definitely a cute and fun pick me up after reading a very tense book prior.Focusing on modern romance through dating apps with poc characters and a stranger/enemies to lovers & second chance romance. With a little bit of spice! (;
I enjoyed seeing the romance build and I enjoyed seeing situations that call to having difficulties wanting a successful career versus wanting to commit and focus on someone romantically. While also seeing the impact previous relationships and situations has caused on people and how it affects their mindset entering new relationships.
I definitely laughed at things Rhi and Lakshmi discussed and loved the way Samson cared deeply for family and loved ones. It was wholesome.
So, I would pick this book up if you want a pick me up book thats fun, chemically intense, and hopeful.

My biggest dislikes were the way that others treated them. For example

Peter can kick fucking rocks.
I was not a fan of the third act break up. They were doing so well with communicating their needs and whatnot. And I hate how Rhiannon is like "my ex fucked me over therefore I can never trust and be in a relationship again" I know it's a common trope but I hate it
I also didn't love the "his dick is pretty" thing. Dicks aren't pretty. Ever
Other than that, I loved it. One of my favorite parts was

Would definitely recommend and I will be continuing the series.
