I have to compare this story to a Moon Pie, it's so nummy-nummy, I just ate it up! Okay, the main character of this book, Shelby, is me in sooooooooo many ways! First off, though, how did I, one of the biggest fans of The Big Bang Theory, not catch on to the title until they connected it to the show in the story? How? I asked to read this one based on loving the author and the great synopsis. Sometimes I really would get bit by a snake because I wouldn't realize it was there. But anyway, I am Shelby when it comes to wanting to sit and watch all episodes, marathon showing of the reruns when they're on, and I relate so many things in every day life to what happens on the show! And, I'll be honest, I finished reading this while I had my local stations nightly reruns of The Big Bang Theory on my TV in the background. I was laughing at myself about doing that, so I decided to tweet the author about it, who responded that she'd actually written the book while watching the show. Maybe even funnier, is that I'm writing this review as I've switched over to TBS in order to watch their usual Tuesday night marathon of The Big Bang Theory. So, obviously, the whole TBBT references sold me right there. But that might not be enough to sell you, so let me tell you what else was so great about this story.

The best friends living together, the banter between them, the great friends, the hilarious situations they got into, those are just a few of the other things that I loved about this book. It seems that a staple in this author's stories are a crazy grandparent, and in this one, we've got Jay's grandma, who hates snakes, but has a little dog that likes to bring the snakes in and give them to her. I love that again we have nice families that are so much fun. I know that may not be enough drama or relatable for some, but it is so much what my family get-togethers are like that I feel home when I read these parts of her stories. The best friends to lovers trope is done to perfection by Emma Hart, as shown not only in this story, but also in the other ones by her I've read.

I don't know how much more I can go on about how much I loved this story without talking a whole lot more about a lot more references to The Big Bang Theory. So I'll just end by saying it is a sweet, fun, easy, and very quick read!
