💗 MY REVIEW:
“But I know that my life doesn’t make sense without you in it.”

Forbidden romance combined with he falls first and friends with benefits? Say less!

Poppy is a speech therapy student who makes a mistake and has to make a quick change to graduate on time. Enter Logan, the man she meets after she finds herself out at the bar with her bestie, Leah. Little does she know, Logan is a teacher at the school Poppy will complete her final externship before graduation. 

A relationship between a student extern and a teacher is forbidden but their feelings and chemistry is electric!

To say I’m completely obsessed with Logan and Poppy is an understatement! Logan is a super sexy and super sweet 5th grade reading and writing teacher who will lend you his hoodie and make you swoon. Poppy is an adorable anxiety ridden graduate student who may or may not have a coffee problem and she will make you feel seen.

I am blown away with Jess Christine! There is no way that this captivating, emotional, and sexy story is her debut! This story has all of my favorite tropes (forced proximity, forbidden romance, and friends with benefits). I love how witty Logan is and how I can easily identify with Jess. I love the text on the page, the references to Taylor Swift (always), the mention of amazing movies, their first actual date and the playlist that accompanies the book! 

Please add this to your TBR now! You won’t regret it!
