An utterly adorable, slow burn debut romance. 

I had such a great time with this book. The cast of characters were well developed and I found myself instantly warming to them. The romance was everything its classic meet cute led to me to expect. It was sweet, with some great banter and chemistry and was on the perfect side of slow burn. The only slight issue for me was that I felt as though the fake dating lasted a little too long but the overall pacing of the book was great, so it didn’t bother me too much. 

I also really enjoyed Etta Easton’s writing style. It was comfortable and easy to read in the best way, whilst not being too simple. She balanced the lighthearted tone of the book well alongside more emotional topics such as chronic illness and grief.

All in all, this was a really lovely read and having happily finished it in two sittings, I’m looking forward to reading more of Etta’s work in the future! 

What to expect:

• Black mmc and fmc 
• Cinnamon roll mmc 
• He falls first
• Slow burn
• Fake dating
• Forced proximity
• Only one bed
• Chronic illness rep (fmc’s mother has sickle cell anemia)
