OH MY GOD ASHLEY WHAT THE HECK!!!

how is it that you’re capable of writing so many different genres and totally blow everyone else out of the water? 😩 you’re so talented it’s unfair 

I haven’t read a 5 star romcom in a LONG time like probably since the soulmate equation, and this absolutely hit the spot!! I’m absolutely amazed at everything that came out of ashley’s brain

ben is absolutely my new book boyfriend, and stoner’s journey into self love and self discovery seriously had me crying 🥹🥹 she deserves the world & I’m so happy ben gave that acceptance to her

y’all know my favorite romance trope is enemies to lovers so I immediately knew this one was going to be a win, but what I didn’t know was how much I WAS GOING TO THERAPY BY READING THIS!!!

stoner and I have a lot in common - betrayed by male figures in our life, squashed the idea of love more often than not, have to figure out ourselves before we allow anyone else to love us, love to turn to alcohol to solve problems … I mean, the list goes on and on 😅

so reading this journey that stoner went on was like giving a warm hug to myself 🥹🥹🥹 thank you ashley for reaching in and touching my soul 

I will recommend this HILARIOUS romance to anyone who listens because the sarcastic sense of humor in this writing is everything I never knew I needed ty
