After a disastrous break up with her high school boyfriend, Lana has become a serial dater, jumping from relationship to relationship. She works as a dating and relationships columnist for a website in LA, but when she finally finds herself single on the night she thought she was going to get engaged, Lana is ready to reevaluate. Her plans are detailed when Seth, her ex boyfriend from high school, takes an assignment at Lana’s work, and the two find themselves pitted against each other in a competition: Lana has to remain single and write about it, and Seth has to settle down and write about his quest to try to find a steady relationship. Whoever’s series is more popular will win their own column. But as the competition progresses, Seth and Lana find that their jobs aren’t the only thing on the line.

This book was so cute! The competition between Lana and Seth was hilarious and brought out a lot of great banter and funny moments. I loved their relationships with their friends and coworkers too; a lot of the chapters ended with Slack messages between everyone and they were so funny. Definitely a slow burn with lots of angst and I loved that. Lana’s character was super relatable and I was so proud of her journey at the end. I also loved that Lana was obsessed with iced hazelnut lattes because they’re my favorite as well and I’ve never seen another character like anything hazelnut like that! I felt seen hahah. Super cute rom com!
