Let me tell you, I totally expected to like this book and for it to be a sweet, quick, read that was light and fun. What I did not expect was to be completely swept off my feet and drown in Farley and Meyer's love story.
Y'ALL. This is SOOOOOOOO cute. I love friends-to-lovers fake dating when they are ALREADY ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER.
Ugh, my heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest.
Send help.
Beautiful. Chaotic. Insane in the best kind of way.

🌶️ 3/5
I definitely recommend this one! It's low angst and funny.
📝 This story follows two stand-up comedians who are already close friends/practically family, who then have to start fake dating (which of course turns real pretty quickly). He is kinda famous but has been out of the spotlight for years, and she's an up-and-coming comic. They both have their own issues to work through, which makes things harder. And the MMC has a daughter who already adores FMC so they don't want to mess that up either. There are some professional and personal speed bumps that the couple have to overcome.
🎧 I really liked both narrators in this! Nelson Hobbs and Stephanie Bentley. Dual POV.
🌶️ There were a handful of explicit scenes, and many references to more activities off page.
🏳️🌈✊ Disability rep: MMC's daughter is Deaf and she is a huge part of both of their lives so she's woven in throughout the book. I didn't notice much in the way of racial, cultural, or lgbtqia+ diversity.

There’s a bit of an age gap between Farley and Meyer. Their ability to communicate and reconcile after a misunderstanding was refreshing. I do wish I had laughed more at the comedy in this book, since both MCs are comedians, but all in all it was a wonderfully sexy read.

Overall I enjoyed the story and the relationships (especially those between Farley and Hazel) but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m not a huge fan of stand up comedy in general so I’m not sure why I thought I would enjoy a book centered around a stand up comedian and her manager more.
The last halfish last quarter of the book felt very rushed as well. We saw

Only part that I was meh on was the chapters of them in the past. I get why it's important to see how long they've known each other but I think as a reader we have an idea how close their relationship is by just the amount of time they've known each other. I would have preferred more of the present because their love story was so cute!

I loved seeing Meyer get out of his shell and Farley grow her career. But I mean... there isn't a whole lot here to say.
A little disappointed, but overall don't regret reading this.
