☆ Childhood penpals
☆ Enemies to lovers
☆ He falls first

I really enjoyed this book. Luca and Naomi felt so perfect together and I loved the dual POV. 
Getting to read the letters they wrote spanning almost 20 years was great and made me fall in love with them so fast. 

I didn’t like Anne at all and got very bad vibes from her immediately. She’s very pushy and just doesn’t seem like a good friend. 
I also didn’t really like the ending. It felt kind of rushed and I wish we got more in the epilogue. 

Overall though, it was a very fun and flirty read.

☆ Celebrity romance
☆ Fake dating 
☆ Plus size rep
☆ Friends to lovers
☆ He falls first 

I loved Trixie so, so much! She was so relatable and loveable! 
Chris was the perfect MMC. You could feel the love he felt for Trixie from chapter one!

I got through this book very fast. The narrator’s were both so wonderful and pulled you into the story so well.

☆ Brother best friend
☆ Age gap
☆ LGBTQIA+ rep 
☆ He falls first

I could relate to both Bee and Sebastian a lot. Not wanting to do something because you’re worried it won’t be perfect is the story of my life. Also that feeling of changing and out growing people in your life is so real. I went through that and I feel like it’s not talked about enough. It’s good to let people go sometimes. 

I love that Bee’s brother wants them together! Too many books have the brother get mad that his best friend would date his sister. If he isn’t good enough for your sister, maybe get better friends. 

I hate that Sebastian’s mum wants him to talk to his dad. Some people don’t deserve your time or forgiveness. 

Overall, I really loved this book. The characters have great chemistry and I can’t wait to read more of Dani’s books.
