Maybe one of the most important books I’ve read. Made me excited to get my financial shit together. VERY EASY to read for people worried about reading a personal finance book

I think I have two caveats to this review. 1 is I hate second chance romance. 2 is I love Casey McQuiston. Lucky for me, Casey’s writing made me love this second chance romance. Theo and Kit are my new book boyfriends (I think Theo wouldn’t mind that distinction). I loved the use of dual narrator, I’ve never read a book where the first half was in one POV and the second half was in the other. I think it was very effecting to get me to fall in love with the characters in real time. I felt like I knew Theo and Kit, they felt like friends before the book was 1/4 of the way done. I also LOVED the food and travel content. I now must go to San Sebastián and while Barcelona was already on my list, it has skyrocketed to the top. This is now in my romance novel hall of fame next to Red White and Royal Blue. Highly recommend.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable sapphic romance. I am realizing I don’t necessarily love the dating show trope, but I was able to get past it because I really did enjoy all of the characters and getting to know them. I loved Cass and Ada, as well as the background characters, Femi and Sienna, I would happily read more books by this author as I had a hard time putting this book down it was a perfect beach read summer read all around enjoyable.
