Another surprising 5 star read!!!!!!  DYLAN THE TRUE LOML OMG. He is so swoony and dreamy and wonderful. He starts off the book being a bit of a workaholic (I will overlook this) but leave his hometown to basically start something new. He meets Kat, but he's curious about her. I love this about him because he's not all "she wasn't wearing makeup, had that natural beauty" sort of crap that I hate to read when they have dual POV. He like actually sees her as a person and wants to understand why she is the way she is. Kat has gone through so much in her life and when she described some of her anxieties with people, I really understood her. And Dylan is so patient and really tries to make her feel safe. When she said she trusts him >>>>>>>> omgggg. What made me love Dylan even more was when he realized that Kat was going to freak out about their arrangement😏, he immediately went over to talk things out with her and reassure her. Even when they have the obligatory fight 3 quarters of the way through the book, it was a moment of high intensity, but he was still respectful and kind and realized she was acting out because of her trauma. And the way he kept pining for her after that??? Literally chills flooded my body. And Kat, my awkward love. I honestly wish I could be her friend. I'm so glad she has someone like Dylan who wasn't ready to give up on them even when she felt like she didn't deserve someone to love her like that.  Honestly, I didn't expect to like, let alone love, this book once the "friends with benefits" shoe dropped. I audibly groaned and closed the kindle app for a second once I finished the chapter that declared this hit-or-miss trope. But I love Kat and Dylan so much. Karla, you've done it again!!!!!
