This had me laughing out loud at multiple points! It's such a cute romcom about a marriage that isn't actually in trouble, but they've let talk about the 3-Year Itch send them into a spiral.

I'm not usually into celebrity romances or influencer romances, but this had a small enough dash of each that it didn't annoy me. The male lead is a music photographer who's often on the road, and the female lead is a beauty Youtuber and MUA. The story isn't super career heavy, it's more about each person gassing the other up and wanting the best for them - even though the long distance is hard.

A word of warning though - this is a surprise baby story. I didn't hate it though and normally that shit sends me running for the hills!

While this can be read as a standalone and I didn't feel I was missing out, I loved the sense of community among the Building 402 neighbours and really want to read on in this series!

3.5 ⭐️!

Shayne and Danny’s story was sweet but just read ok to me. Not my favorite of the series but a nice close. I loved all the updates and the special reason behind them possibly leaving building 402! Brandi is a hoe and I’m glad that this is where the storyline ends for her! Overall I enjoyed this series and can’t wait to dive into more books in Alexandra Warren’s back catalog!

Disappointing end to the series. Shayne and Danny weren’t completely unlikeable but Shayne was my least fave of the series.

Sweet!

I needed this quick, fun read. I found myself laughing throughout the book. Shayne’s attitude got on my nerves, but Danny’s lovable personality made up for it. It was nice to visit Building 402 again. I loved the whole series.

Humor and heart

Cute look into apartment life with a young married couple. Big plans, dreams and worries abound when photography keeps a husband away from his wife.

Definitely high heat moments but a nice look into a new setting. I appreciated how easily Warren wove stories together that I hadn't read into this one.

Fun, easy to read novella. Witty with solid humor and heart.
