Two best friends ignite a long-buried attraction in this cozy winter romance. He's loved her forever, and she's the last to know.
Sophie Lindell is at a personal and professional interviewing for PhD programs that will either keep her in Boston with her tight-knit group of friends or send her to California on her own. Already preparing for big changes, Sophie has her world turned on its head when a break up with her long-time boyfriend leaves her without a place to live. Fortunately, her best friend Andy Walsh has a spare bedroom—and a secret soft heart under his icy exterior.
The two make an unlikely Sophie is ebullient, disorganized, and optimistic, with big dreams for her future. Andy is a creature of habit, with everything in his life rigidly under control—everything except the way Sophie makes him feel.
As roommates, their near-decade of carefully drawn boundaries finally starts to crumble. But with big changes ahead in Sophie’s career, is now really the time to be thinking about romance, and with her best friend of all people? And for Andy, is confessing how he’s always felt worth the risk of potentially losing the person who matters most?

I got to read this ahead of publication. It’s funny, endearing, really well written, and cozy. The characters are well developed, the Boston details are so spot on, and I laughed out loud so many times. Allie Moffat is also a master of the simile. I’m going to re-read it! Fingers crossed for a sequel!

I was kindly given access to this book prior to publication.
This is definitely one for fans of Ali Hazelwood and the like. Well written and easy read. Well developed characters, funny/snarky and realistic dialogue. Also for those who enjoy friends to lovers, misunderstanding and mutual pining tropes.
I’m looking forward to more books by Allie Moffatt.

Sweet and Well Written Debut
I thought the writing was good for a debut. Sweet characters and looks like there will be more books about the friend group.

An amazing debut novel by Allie Moffatt. The story was well written and had me absorbed in Sophie’s life from page 1. The characters’ personalities were all well done and the bond between NASA was so sweet. All the dialogue and emotions felt so natural and real throughout.
Sophie and Andy’s journey was so captivating and frustrating (in a good way) the entire time and of course the ending was satisfying. I’m looking forward to future novels from Allie!

Allie Moffat understands what makes a friends to lovers romance so marvelous. I think the trope can fall a bit flat when mishandled. It can be repetitive, lack mystique, and it can lean too hard into miscommunication. BUT NOT IN THIS BOOK!!!
This book is tantalizing, well paced, and filled to bursting with character that sizzle with chemistry.
Moffatt’s writing voice is charming and witty and over the course of the book, the characters become your friends. I loved the two main characters and the supporting cast. Also THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE A MALE LEAD WHO YEARNS. TAKE NOTES. Andy left me breathless at points. And not at the parts you would assume loll.
I would put this book in a solid 2 - 3 peppers. Take what I say with a grain of salt I read a lot of spice. There are descriptions of intimate acts but they are easy to avoid if you are not into that sort of thing. I think spice appreciators of any tolerance can enjoy this book.
And guess what! THIS BOOK PASSES THE BECHDEL TEST!!! HIGHLY recommend you pick up this fresh and satisfying romance.

I lived for the authors podcast and the humor and banter it had. When I heard she was writing a book I knew I had to read it immediately. The way she wrote the trope of friends to lovers was really beautiful and relatable to how it feels in real life. The humor and banter I loved so much was really good in the book. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with for her next book. I will be reading it!

2.5-3 ⭐️It was fine. I just never felt a connection between the main characters I would have loved more from their past to really feel their attraction to each other. The miscommunication troupe drives me insane as well. There was just too much of it.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This is one of the best romances I have ever read. I am obsessed with Sophie and Andy!!
If you like authors like Emily Henry or Ali Hazelwood, you will love Allie Moffatt!!!
