Absolutely loved the songs for the chapters that were meant to represent the feel for them. 🎶 The audiobook mentions each song for the chapters, but they are all listed in the beginning of the book. Some bangers that I love on there for sure. 

A perfect example of grumpy / sunshine with a bit of heartbreak, quick banter, misunderstandings, and Gordon Ramsey attitude. Although, from what I’ve noticed even Gordon is a golden retriever when it comes to his wife and kids. Really enjoyed this one. 

Although I wanted to smack the FMC upside the head for being clueless and stubborn, I still enjoyed it. The chatting was a fun throwback to when it was popular to do that in online chat rooms. You meet some interesting people there. 

What to expect in this book:

Dual POV
BFF’s Brother hook up
FMC with PTSD 
He was her first and only
Childhood Crush
He fell first
Touch her and die
Bully trauma 
Master Chef with attitude 
Grumpy sunshine
Golden Retriever for her, Police Dog for anyone else 
Slow burn 
Wicked banter 
Spice
