I love love LOVED it! This was my first Sarah Grunder Ruiz book, but as you know... The order doesn't matter to me! But this book is a *vibe* for sure. Sarah Grunder Ruiz turns all of my favorite tropes on their head - from forced proximity to friends to lovers, there's a unique take on so many. Not to mention the sexiest Irishman alive, a chef who makes delectable homemade pizza rolls and is the grumpiest grump to ever grump. He can call me kitten any day.

But it's more than just a love story and that's what I love most. Nina has issues, from the trauma of her knee injury to the distrust stemming from a family betrayal, and we get to watch her journey towards change. It was so realistic, speaking as someone who has MANY therapy receipts floating around, and I loved that it wasn't easy for her.

I'm going to turn on Glass Animals and wait for Last Call at the Local now thank youuuuuu.
