Anything she writes, I'll read!

Juliet is afraid to start dating again after the implosion of her last relationship. Will is looking for a wife, but experience has taught him he's just not lovable. They decide to be each other's platonic training wheels... I think we all know how that'll end.

I love Chloe Liese. Her Bergman Brothers series gave me a safe space to process things when I realised I may be a tad neurodivergent myself, and her books continue to do that. This book is a funny, cheesy comfort read in all the best ways. In a shocking turn of events, it also has NO 3RD ACT BREAK-UP.

The plot itself is fairly uneventful. There are no major dramatic events to make things difficult (those happen in book #1 of the series. While this can be read as a stand alone I do recommend starting there). It is just 2 people slowly working through their own issues as they fall in love, and because of that it's a lot more introspective than most romance novels. That won't work for everyone, but it definitely works for me - it's lovely and warm and kind and for a few hours it made me feel like all is right in the world.

Many thanks to Little, Brown book group and netgalley for letting me read an ARC of this book. It was just what I needed.
