Sweet and steamy story. Abby is a rich girl, 24 and straight out of Yale, running her father's hedge fund while he secretly deals with health issues. She and Russell, a construction worker from Queens (woot! woot!) are part of the same friend group, obviously crazy about one another but they friend zone one another for their own reasons. The road to coming together is complicated but mostly lovely. Bailey has gotten better at making the hurdles less ridiculous in later books (the tropes and hurdles here are mostly the same as the newest, Hook Line & Sinker) but I still enjoyed having this audiobook on in the background as I did some work that did not require significant brain space. I might have gone 3.5 if it were possible. I am really glad Bailey's writing has improved, but the story quality is already pretty darn good here.
