If you are in the Bookstagram community and follow romance accounts, you likely saw this book! It was inescapable and you don't need to pull my arm to follow buzzy books. 

I have never read a Kate Clayborn book before but I have seen her book covers and knew of her. But there was something about this book that when it came out, it spoke very loudly among the readers. 

I will admit that I did not get the appeal for the first maybe 40%. I messaged friends saying I'm not getting appeal? Do I stop? Do I keep going? Well I am glad I continued because there was a shift almost halfway through and suddenly I was invested and didn't want to stop. 

"I don't want to be in this town, where people know me as a flake, a failure."

Georgie is trying to figure out her new life after her personal assistant job ended when the producer decided to live a normal life. She heads back home which is also timely to her best friend's upcoming baby arrival. Once she arrives to her old home, she realizes she is not alone. Her parents double booked the house - enter Levi Fanning.  The relationship is strictly roommates but seeing both perspective we know that they definitely want more but don't know how to approach it. 

The tension between the two was so strong and I just kept waiting for the moves to be made. Clayborn kept teasing the reader and it just kept me wanting to read more. The turning point for me came when Levi decided to help Georgie fulfill old ideas and bucket list tasks that Georgie came up with prior to entering high school. Oh and I forgot to mention, Levi is Georgie's former high school crush Evan's older brother - yikes! 

"I'll love you if you want to leave your stuff all over the place, wherever you're living. I just hope I'm living there with you." 

I just love the connection that Georgie and Levi had and seeing him open up to her. Having Levi's perspective was such a joy and I always love seeing what is happening in the male perspective. Also I absolutely loved his relationship with his dog Hank!!! It made him 100xs more attractive. 

There is also a wonderful friendship storyline with Georgie and her best friend Bel. Georgie helping Bel prepare for her new baby and both just kind of figuring out how to be an adult and what they want.
