5/5 stars, I couldn’t put this book down! I was hooked from the very beginning. This is the first book I’ve read by Lynn Painter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I can’t wait to go read her other books. This book is released November 28, 2023. Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada, Lynn Painter and Netgalley for an opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.

I was graciously given access to this book on Netgalley and without giving too much away it is a must read. I mean the romance, the cuteness, the absolute perfect rom com ! It will be a definite recommend to all my customers for both teens and adults, the romance themes are so well written and relatable. You don't feel bored for a moment. What i felt especially passionate about was the depiction of divorce in this novel. For such a lighthearted novel it really counted themes of divorce in a relatable and comforting way that made sense to me having gone through something similar with my parents divorce. Thank you for the read !

Such a cute freaking read😭🩷 the author just has a way to write the absolute best romances ahh—the only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because I’ve DIED for her other books in comparison to this one, and at times I felt it drag on a bit, but the chemistry between the characters was PHENOMENAL and I will be thinking about “Glasses” and “Mister Nothing” for the next few business days (or weeks, even).

Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This was the perfect read! It took my stress away and made me laugh and cry and it was just so filling. A romcom in my hands. I loved Bailey and Charlie so much. And their love for Taylor Swift and Conan Gray and I just related to them so so much.

oh my god i want to be in love

charlie and bailey were so cute, and their individual dynamic balanced each other out so well. the forced proximity, the fear of relationships as a divorced kid, the "'you came' 'you called'" moment. i am literally crying.

This is my first Lynn Painter book and I can confirm that her previously published books have officially become priorities on my TBR for when I need a solid heartfelt rom-com moment.

I gave this book five stars because it just properly checked all of the boxes for me: there were endearing and unique, while also being relatable, characters; slow-ish burn romance with lots of playful banter and teasing; and plenty of Taylor Swift and pop-culture references (and I ate it up, of course).

This book was not ground-breaking, but that’s kind of what’s to love about it. It’s familiar, cozy, and a lot of fun. I loved Bailey and Charlie and the whole will they/ won’t they relationship dynamic that they had going on.

Side note: I really liked the authors portrayal of divorce in this story, it offered a perspective I don’t get to see very often in the media (or life, for that matter) and it was honestly refreshing and done quite well.

Overall, I definitely recommend this book if you’re a fan of rom-coms and Taylor Swift ;)
