thank you to netgalley and st martin's griffin for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest thoughts :)

i was hooked from the title bc as a friends to lovers stan i just knew i needed this!! hailey and wes don't start out as friends but quickly become each others person. hailey is the kind of girl who still believes in love after awful relationships and wes absolutely does not feel the same - he refuses to fall in love. obviously, i ate this up!! these two characters just had so many feelings and so much to work through in regards to communication and expectations which made the romance that much more realistic to me. overall, i enjoyed my time while reading this and am looking forward to picking up the other to jansen brothers books!! <3
