This was my first Rachel Lynn Solomon book and it won't be the last! From deliciously awkward meet cute with terrible sex (outright hysterical) to a sweet HEA, Chandler and Finn's friendship and romance was a joy to read! Both MCs were well-crafted and relatable. Chandler had moments where I truly wanted to throttle her, but Finn was a delight. Bonus, he was a quick study with the dirty talk!
Mid-level spice with some really amazing, frank conversations between Chandler and Finn. Communication is sexy both in and out of the bedroom! Plus, who doesn't want to read a solid nod to comic cons? One of the biggest perks, outside of the sex positivity, was all the representation! From Jewish characters (and culture and cuisine) to mental health representation (OCD) and discussions on imposter syndrome, Solomon really nailed this romance.
I think my only minor complaint is wishing the supporting cast had been more present. This was a fast paced read and I wish we had more time really getting to know Chandler and Finn in how they interact with others for a full picture. We get a bit with Chandler but Finn's was pretty limited. But I know I'm being a bit greedy here.
Business or Pleasure was an incredibly cozy read and would be a great vacation or beach read! I'm really looking forward to reading more of her work!
