 Oh my, I absolutely adored this book!

After a disastrous work holiday party, Seattle meteorologist, Ari Abrams, and her co-worker and sports reporter, Russel Barringer, team up to manipulate their bosses into getting together (for the good of the office work environment!) The catch? Their bosses are actually exes and have been messily divorced for 5 years. But they know there is still chemistry there - they just need to give them a push. And along the way..... if Ari starts to notice how cute Russel is, and how much she loves spending time with him... All the better!

There is so much I loved about this book:
- Jewish main characters
- Plus sized Male love interest
- Clinical Depression representation
- Positive depictions of therapy
- So many Parent Trap references
- DILFs
-The list is endless

Ari and Russel are so sweet and their individual stories really touched my heart. Watching them scheme to get their bosses together while also realizing that they have feelings for one another was so funny and so sweet to watch.

There may have been moments where Ari's thought process or decisions made me frustrated but I think her the way she handles those situations really highlight her struggle with Depression and how she is managing it in her everyday life.
