I really liked this book! I have never read anything by Christina Lauren, but I have heard really great things so I was excited when I was approved for this ARC.

This book was fun, witty, and a super quick read.

I love the concept of friends to lovers and I loved the added element of the dating app. I felt it brought a more unique approach since I can only think of one other book with a similar aspect.

Reid was awesome. He was smart, sexy, and knew exactly what he wanted. He was a genuine guy who didn’t shy away from his feelings. I also liked that he stuck to his guns towards the end. I thought it showed a lot of self worth and I loved that.

Millie was a roller coaster for me. I liked her a lot at first, then she kind of annoyed me with her insecurities and her inability to even remotely open up, but since that was pretty much the whole point, I managed to eventually move past it.

Alex, Chris, and Ed were such great secondary characters. They were funny, loyal, and absolutely ridiculous. They all had different personalities so it was interesting see what both Reid and Millie got out of those friendships. The more I think about it, the more that this book and those friendships remind me a lot of The Big Bang Theory. Suffice it to say, if you like the dynamics of BBT, you’ll more than likely like this book.

Overall, I definitely recommend this one! It’s a great beach read so if you’re looking for something lighthearted, this is definitely the way to go!

➳Friends wanting much more, letting temptation and attraction get to them in the best of ways making you want more of Reid and Millie's undeniable friendship and charisma...

➳When Christina Lauren writes a new novel, there is no denying it that I will be hoping to get to read it as soon as possible. Sexy, witty, charismatic, and fun, that is what CLo has to bring in every single one of their novels. This one is no exception of course because everything about Millie and the boy gang is one thrilling ride that I want to be a part of. All individuals whom have been best friends for a long time, and are now professors at the same college dealing with college professor issues that are indeed a hoot to read about. After one drunken night, Reid and Millie learn that their physical attraction is one that cannot be diminished or taken away from since they are just meant to be with each other. Viewing each other as only friends, Reid and Millie slowly learn to realize that there is no way of diminishing their attraction towards each other.

➳After going through different online dating profiles, Millie is stuck in a pickle when she encounters herself with a match towards Reid with a fake username that she created just for fun. As she goes along with it, she soon realizes that Reid truly does like her fake "person". Millie needs to find the honest truth as to how to continue with this fake friendship and her real friendship with Reid, in which she wishes it were more.

➳This review is being kept short and sweet because this is a novel that is MEANT to be read and thoroughly enjoy to the fullest. Every twist and turn, every emotional aspect of it, every reaction towards an action is simply meant to be read because Christina Lauren will never stop disappointing their readers with their marvelous romance novels. I am indeed keeping my fingers crossed that we get more romances of the other characters that were mentioned in this novel, since I am missing how much into different series CLo has written in the past. Thank you to Gallery Books and Kristin for providing me a copy of this beauty. Everyone will enjoy and devour this witty romance!
