Aaaah!  I loved this book so much.  As an OG fan of Grey's Anatomy, this gave me all those early-season vibes and was perfection.  Lainey and Sam had chemistry off the charts and I love a good "he falls first" trope.  Lainey was smart and sassy and Sam was oh-so-charming.  To say he was obsessed with her is an understatement.  The characters and their backstories all felt really well fleshed-out and the writing was fantastic.  I could not put this book down.  I was surprised to find out this was a debut novel when I went to look up what else Julia had written.  I cannot wait to see what else she comes up with.
