Thank you so much to William Morrow & Harper Collins for the complimentary copy of the book!

This book is out now!

I was a little nervous about reading this one as I saw not so hot reviews of it but honestly I really enjoyed myself! I will admit I did have to rewind some of the audio as work was taking up too much of my time and I was confused on what was happening. But that only had happened once and then I was back on track.

I like that the author made the FMC Elle a successful writer and that she wasn't someone trying to become popular. I also was happy that we didn't have to go through the whole book with Elle pretending she was living in this fancy apartment in NYC and that she was upfront with Parker on the reason why she was staying there. I was though curious how long we would have to wait until the night they originally met was brought up between the two neighbors. And it was probably one of my favorite moments when the revelation came up.

I know a lot of other readers did not like the behavior/attitude of Elle towards Parker especially later on in the book. Parker was so head over heels for Elle and would literally do anything he could to keep her around. She wasn't phased by his money and after their initial meeting two years prior that was least interest her. They both needed each other and thought working together for the summer would benefit them. Elle felt inspired after they met previously and hasn't been able to get past her writer's block and thinks being around him would help her. Parker thought having a girlfriend would give him good press. And of course of the process of fake dating, real feelings begin to develop. Parker was all in and Elle was a little more reserved about it. They had different lives and didn't think it could work.

Money is a very touchy subject for Elle. We learn the reasons why and how it has affected her into her adult life. She is very independent and wants to able to make it without having to rely on anyone. And then you have Parker who has earned all the money he has but always wants to help and spoil those in his life. That is where a lot of the conflict between Elle and Parker come into play. I do feel as if she could have been a little bit more forgiven towards him.

I read this one via audiobook and the narration was done by Diane Guerrero. This was my first book by Diane and it appears that she may be a newbie when it comes to narration. I thought she did a fine job as Elle. I had no issues with listening to the book and the confusion I mention earlier was purely on my part and not on the narration or the way the book was written.

This book also felt like a love letter to New York City. It made me want to go back up there to explore the city. I recommend this book if you are looking for a devoted billionaire boyfriend set across NYC.
