*I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the free book!*

If you're reading an Alexis Hall novel, you don't expect realistic scenarios, so this novel where a store manager fakes amnesia after a work accident to prevent his team from being fired but ends up falling in love with his prickish boss should not surprise rom com lovers. While I wasn't very fond of the entire set-up at first, I kinda grew to enjoy it. This might have to do with the fact that I'm in Italy, it's 38° and my brain is half-fried but it was fun. I loved how the prickish boss's family just adopted our protagonist (Samwise btw, I would've liked to see more LOTR jokes apart from his cat Gollum), found family just makes me happy.

So, it was fun, I finished this on the beach of Lake Garda, I don't have any standards at the moment. It's a good summer read. Ciao!
