FINALLY, a true romp that I had just the best time reading. I slowly savored this horny rivals-to-lovers over a week because finding a funny, sexy, and just absolutely so much fun romcom is really difficult for me to find. The author's sense of humor really really works for me, it might not for everyone, but to me, it is perfect. The banter! The zingers! The horny horny heat!

Anyway, I loved it so much. I highlighted the absolute shit out of my eARC and this is a book I will want to doodle in with my gel pens. I will wait to closer to the release date to share quotes, but definitely get your preorder on.

I also VERY MUCH appreciate the content notes in the front matter; Maxine's mother is deceased (we don't get too much info on this, grief is not the plot of this book. Teddy's parents are struggling a bit financially due to his father's medical condition - more details are in front matter).

Here are some slightly spoilery out of context words: parachute, 69, good girl, yes professor

Professional review to come to Library Journal.

thank you to the author and publisher and LJ for the advance copy; I am friendly with the author on social media, all thoughts are my own.
