no because i screamed when i got the email letting me know i was approved for an arc of oss, like jumped for joy and everything 🤩 i read wutb as an arc and gave that one five stars so i was pumped as heck to read this!! onto my review:

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! this book is everything to me!!! lily and nico (lico if you will) are quite literally THE friends to lovers of the century!!!! they’ve wanted each other since they first met, but agreed it was best to just stay friends despite the sizzling tension between them at their every meeting. that is until nico invites lily to spend the summer traveling with him. this forced proximity travel romance was a hot, steamy, masterpiece truly ahead of its time!!! 

lily rodin hides behind so many things to make her seem confident and headstrong, but she is really traumatized and afraid of having her heart destroyed again by her developing feelings for nico. she has been told that her dreams are immature and childish and that she won’t amount to much, but nico doesn’t let her believe that for one second. i love lily so so so much!!! 

nico navarro, sunshine incarnate, blows through life without much concern for others. until, of course, lily breezes into his life for this trip of a life time. he grows so much throughout this book and learns to take care of the people around him. he is a dreamboat and i cry knowing that he isn’t real 😭 

the spice in this was out of this world steamy 🌶️ i am a particular fan of balconies now after reading this 💀

pls pls pls read this because it was the easiest 5 stars i’ve given!!! and everyone say thank you for writing this masterpiece of epic proportions!!!!
