This was stupidly sweet and surprisingly spicy! Both characters had well developed personal story lines in addition to their romantic one and the characters are diverse. I love a dude who pines, makes intentions clear, and puts the ball in the woman’s court and I love a strong woman who doesn’t compromise her goals. It was sometimes hard to tell when brief flashbacks end or when internal monologue ended and dialogue started in the audiobook. Overall really enjoyed this on audio!!

I quite enjoyed the premise, the characters, the plot -- in fact, I was more invested in the business of dating apps, the acknowledgment of CTE, and the friendships and family dynamics than the romance because honestly I didn't think Samson and Rhi had much (any?) chemistry.

Page 255. Mainly a DNF because I ran out of times I could renew this. Been having a hard time sitting down to read because January 2021
Update - finished by listening to the audiobook! So, the first 1/2 or so of this book was hard for me to get through, I can't really put my finger on why, but it was hard for me to want to pick up the book and it was easy to put down. Then all of a sudden something switched and I couldn't put it down and I stayed up late to finish it. Really really liked the ending, but going with a 3.75 star since I struggled so hard to get into it.
