This is only my second Christina Lauren book (I’m pretty sure) and I really enjoyed myself. It was a fairly light romance with some rom-com feels. Some people compared it to Set It Up on Netflix. I recently watched that movie and like it a lot. I see the connections-especially in the overworking of the female assistants-but they are their own thing.
Carey and James were both good and likable characters. They have good chemistry and great interactions. Carey felt more developed and had a better arc than James. It isn’t a big issues, but an observation.
Carey has a medical condition which added to the story and felt well-done. One of the author’s has a family member with the same condition. It was something I had never heard of but I did research afterward. It also added to why Carey put up with all the crap at work. There were also emotional reasons and combined, her decision to stay felt very real.
There was a small “now and then” aspect to the story structure. The “now” was police interviews. Initially, I liked it and it built up some tension, but the ending was underwhelming.
I enjoyed my time reading this and need to move Christina Lauren up on my TBR because I’ve liked both books I’ve read.
Thanks for reading!
