This is a five-star read that you won’t want to say goodbye to. I don’t know about this one if I’m honest, I enjoyed it overall, but there were a couple of moments I did cringe a little, but the overall was so good. I think it may just be me, so I’m not knocking it for that. There is a real meal girls vibe to this one, and I loved that, as you really do get people like that in an office. I liked that everyone had their own personality, and I did want to shake Anna a time or two, I did hate that she didn’t own her name as much as she should have, and that’s something I do, so again a personal bugbear rather than a negative point. It was so nice to see people struggling a little, but still ploughing on, we don’t often see that in this type of story, life just seems to be easy, and office mates all cool. So this was a great story overall and one that you should all pick up, the writing from this author just gets better and better.

"This boy with his unfaltering smile, who carries the sunshine with him wherever he goes, with summer in his eyes."

I really enjoyed the start of this - it was easy to read, cute, and fun.

"I kept calling him golden boy, not realizing he had a heart of gold to match."

But then i just did not particularly care for Annalise and her unwarranted attitude.
I know romance books have their lack of communication and conflicts to make for an exciting read, but Annalise was a bit too petty for me, and i wanted to smack her 😂
It picked up towards the end and finished nicely, though!

'He tastes like summer. Like first love and reckless abandon and secrets beneath a starless sky. It's a kiss that's full of memories and full of the promise of what's next.' ♡
