Two sassy twenty-somethings have a traffic dispute that ends with them flipping the bird at each other, then find themselves seated beside each other on a flight. The author made this somewhat cliche meet-cute feel charming rather than tired. 

The author built some intrigue early on by creating questions around the circumstances of the FMC’s breakup with her former partner. I won’t give any spoilers, but the answers are a bit unexpected, and make for a unique plot. 

The latter part of the book started to feel heavy, without enough humor or character development to carry it for me. Additionally, the main characters felt one-note to me. There wasn’t a significant amount of change in these characters, and the loving sentiment between the FMC and MMC felt repetitive. 

While I didn’t love this book, I would definitely try other books by this author. There was a lot there to like and I would still recommend this book to readers who like contemporary romance with medium angst.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced reader copy.
