The book starts with Bear (yes, that’s his name) and Trixie’s meetcute without them realizing. Trixie is trying to catch a chicken on a busy road and Bear helps her. 

Then Trixie hears from her landlord that she can’t keep any animals at her place, so she starts looking around for a new place. Three guesses with whom she’s going to co-house? Yes yes, it’s Bear. 

They are very attracted to eachother (insta-love), but don’t want to act on it as they don’t want to mess up their roommate-situation. But ofcourse, keeping their hands of eachother gets more and more difficult when they get to know eachother better and get to see eachother half-naked (forced proximity). 

The chicken, who gets the name Chick-Chick, also plays a big part in their story. 

This wasn’t by any means a bad book, it was just a little bit underwhelming. 

I really liked the writing-style, as it read really fluently and I finished it quite quickly. I also liked some of the topics that this book handled (commitment issues, toxic parents, toxic masculinity). We read from a dual POV, both from Trixie and Bear, which was also a plus for me. 

But the storyline itself was just a little bit too cliché for me. It was cute at times, but some other scenes felt quite repetitive. 

But if you’re looking for a quick read with a cute romance with not too much depth, than this is the book for you.
