This is such a sweet forced proximity, celebrity romance. There’s so much pining and angst!

Lacey as a character was amazing, and so realistic! There was so much character development through this book, from both the FMC and the MMC, Drew. Lacey starts off really closed off from the world, and unable to accept love and care from others due to grief and trauma. Drew has also isolated himself, due to trauma. As they’re forced into a situation where they’re having to live together after a one night stand, they begin to open up to one another and help each other grow and accept love from others. The fact they made a therapy pact together as well!!! Iconic. 

Overall the story was amazing. The third-act breakup was a bit predictable, but largely due to the readers knowing the truth and the FMC not. I loved the character development, and the way they worked together and pushed each other to become better.
