Hmm…not sure how I feel about this one. Definitely chaotic AF. Don’t get me wrong - there were cute bits, and funny bits, and sweet bits, but something just didn’t totally click for me. 

Dan’s a lovely himbo and Rafe a grumpy anxiety-king with the most overactive, spiralling imagination, but I don’t know if I buy their relationship like I have from other couples in Lily’s past works. Also, the story just kind of…ended rather abruptly. While the epilogue was entertaining, I wish more time was focussed on how their relationship had developed. 

I really hope that’s the last we get of F&B. Their sub-plot bordered on too much in this one as it was, and I don’t care if I ever see them again.

I am excited after the teaser for book 4 - a true enemies to lovers with some hardcore animosity!
