First I want to thank Berkley for the eARC! I LOVED this book! This maybe my favorite romcom that I have ever read and that's because it was so much more than that. The main character, Ember was so funny and charming, despite her constant lies (I cannot even count how many times I shook my head and whispered to myself, "Ember, what are you doing?"). If it wasnt for Danuwoa not putting up with her bs, I don't think I could've tolerated it. He was perfection and their chemistry was through the roof (they banter was top tier in my book!) I loved seeing Ember's character arc evolve while she navigated the mess she made with her lies (big and small) and just the way she had to navigate through the workspace microaggressions, sexism, and racism. This book was so much more that just an office rom com and I would love to read more native stories by natives like this. I am so looking forward to reading more from Danica Nava!
