Summary:
Rue's supposed-to-be-one-and-done-never-see-him-again tinder date turns out to be with the company trying to take over the current company she works at, and she's having a hard time with all of this and all of the feels.
Thoughts:
Low key mad I liked this book so much. It's honestly a really cute story, there's just so many weird quirks with the writing. It's written in both 1st person (FMC) and 3rd person (MMC), so flow is clunky between chapters. The trope spaghetti was thrown at the wall in the hopes that something sticks.There's Hockey Romance, Office/work romance, nerd/brainy romance, and kind of enemies/rivals to lovers (but they never really hated each other) all wrapped up in one big trope meatball. Surprisingly, it somehow still turned out really good? Idk. I have feels and they're not all bad.
