Oh, this is truly what a good slow-burn, (semi-)unrequited love, opposites attract, friends-to-lovers story should look like!
The obliviousness is strong with this one, and it was absolutely amazing. Becky was obviously head-over-heels for Zane, while Zane didn't appear to have a single clue; Zane thought they were just "bromancing".
I never thought Zane's obliviousness was annoying, though. Instead, I found it resulting in a lot of delicious pining from Becky. Ughh, it was so good!

"How about I tell her you have a boyfriend? A boyfriend who, although he claims he's okay with you dating others, really isn't, but doesn't know how to say that because you guys just met, and deep down he is so broken that he doesn't know if he can risk loving again. But regardless, this boyfriend is jealous as fuck that you have a date tonight or any night."
An unexpected nervous laugh left him. "English professors. You sure know how to whip up some convincing backstory. You'd do that for me?"
I was swooning so hard here, and I also found myself cracking up quite often. At first I thought the second-hand embarrassment was very strong since Zane wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. However, he grew on me very quickly and I ended up thinking he was super entertaining and humorous. Him and Beckett also bounced off of each other so well, and had plenty of good banter.
Zane: Oh, God. Save me.
Becky: Save you?
Zane: She's trying to make me come. In the middle of the restaurant.
Becky: Are you close?
Zane: Not even remotely. Her heel strangled one of my balls and I'm hiding in the bathroom.
Becky: I meant the restaurant. But thanks for the visual.
The characters are extremely likeable and the relationship is so good. The chemistry is through the roof, and I genuinely think these two are perfect together. They are extremely different from each other, but they both have their heart in the right place. They were absolutely adorable.
"Being with you makes marrying Luke seem like the biggest mistake of my life. I f-feel stupid that I thought what he and I had was ... I didn't know a thing."
"Becky, Beckett, are you saying you love me?"
This was just a lot of fun to read and I wish it never ended! I loved it so so so so much!
