That's three for three from Meg McSpadden! I have been so excited for this third book in the series, and am very thrilled to say it was as wonderful as expected. 

Sophie starts a new job as a temporary social worker at a school and is shocked to discover her childhood crush Foster works there as an EA. They start spending time together, he agrees to be her fake date to an alumni event where her awful ex will be if she does the same to a friend's BBQ where they all try to keep setting him up, to no success. They decide to keep going and work through the alphabet on "friend dates" but she doesn't know that he's loved her since they were teenagers and that she isn't the only one faking the faking. 

There are books that smack me in the face with emotions or some aspect of the reading experience and make me want to scream about them from rooftops. There are books that are just so cozy and heartfelt that I want to sink into the feelings they give and not say a thing. This book is somehow both!

As I said to Meg, it's like the at home, comfortable, fully yourself feeling Sophie and Foster were creating with each other seeps through the words to the reader. The entire story is about creating everyday intimacy, healing from past hurts to live without doubt, and learning to trust and love yourself and your loved one. 

Thank you, Meg for a series of books that all have different vibes but fit perfectly together. I love being part of The Yogurt Squad so far, and am grateful for all the sneak peaks and getting to read this ARC! Also, the glimpses we got of Nancy and Karl have me even more excited for their story!
