Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC!

This was a fun, quick, light read. Sage and Ryland had a sweet dynamic, it was so easy to root for them! I haven't read many grumpy/sunshine tropes, but this was done so well! All of the characters were extremely likeable, Sage was hilarious, the banter was witty. Super enjoyable and lighthearted!

This is the kind if book you want to curl up with a comfortable blanket and never stop reading. Opposites attract dynamic between Sage and Ryland was truly adorable, reminded me of why I adore YA novels so much.
This was fun and I very well done and I will absolutely be picking up more from these author.

Excellent companion novel to 'Hot British Boyfriend' though readers do not need to read 'HBB' to enjoy this one.

Readers follow hard-working go-getter Sage as she spends the summer in Amsterdam, volunteering in her mentor's lab and preparing a poster for a prestigious conference, while babysitting her mentor's 3-year-old. When her mentor's teenaged son, Ryland, unexpectedly returns home for the summer, Sage is surprised by how distracted she is. Though she tries to concentrate on her daytime babysitting duties and evenings-and-weekends data entry for the lab, Sage soon finds herself appreciating Ryland's help with his brother and his companionship while they each work.

It's lots of fun to watch Sage fall for Ryland, despite her own best efforts. This is a very cute romantic comedy YA Contemporary with easy-to-root for characters and excellent character development. Highly recommended!

Oh my gosh I adored this book! I want to go to Amsterdam now, and only partially because Ryland's there :). The characters were great, and I loved the dynamic between Sage and Ryland. Sage's babysitting antics had me cracking up, and I loved how Ry stepped up and was there for her. Their connection truly grew over the course of the book, and the ending (while a little unrealistic) made me very happy. I can only hope to have Sage's determination and passion for all of my work, and I was very pleased with how her summer ended. (IYKYK)

This was cute! I loved the grumpy cat x sunshine puppy dynamic between Sage and Ryland. They were truly sweet together and made each other better people. The medical side was neat as well. Sage has a lot of drive and determination! While I found the ending to be a little unrealistic and it definitely needs an epilogue, this was a fun, quick read. Also, I didn’t realize that this was a companion to the author’s previous book Hot British Boyfriend, but I didn’t feel like I needed to read the first book to appreciate this one.

This book is so incredibly cute, short, and sweet. Well it wasn't short but I zipped through it and enjoyed every second. It is super light and fluffy, giving you tons of swoons and feels.
