Ugh. This one was a miss for me. The only conflict was a decade old miscommunication from a 19 & 20 year old. We spend 60% of this book with the characters just be so mean. Like so so toxic. When all they needed one apparently one conversation and then it was whiplash into spice. There was a lot of cliffnoting, like brief descriptions of weeks of time. It got very annoying after while. Even the flashback chapters seemed to not really do much for the story line. At no point in the first 60% of the book was a cheering for the characters to work through things and get together, so when they did I was not invested at all. They went for zero to 60 way to fast.
I got this ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

This is an enemies to lovers, second chance, forced proximity romance with a marriage of convenience and a one bed scene where he falls first. She was trying to get Bingo on her romance writers Bingo card. I really did like this book and the main couple. The love they had for their grandmas and Sally was just so sweet.
