This debut novel by @jessicajoycewrites was an absolute delight. I listened to it through Libby and felt all the emotions from tears to laughing out loud. Multiple times I had to hit the rewind button to hear an especially compelling part again. 

A few parts of the book were predictable but not in a bad way at all. They were just exactly what I expected and I would have been disappointed otherwise. 

The themes of grief were a little rough since I just lost my mom 13 days ago (how long until I stop tracking the days?) But I'm glad I kept reading because there were plenty of banter filled moments to balance out the sadness. Oh and the steamy moments were incredible too.

I absolutely adored Noelle. I hated the difficulties she was facing in life but I loved that she was resilient. 

Theo was perfect. His character flaws were incredibly realistic and I loved how he worked so hard to get under Noelle's skin yet also took care of her.

This romance was brilliant. I loved the story line. I loved the chemistry. I loved the banter. I loved the forced proximity. It was just wonderful.
