“Second chance romance is literally a trope that will always do it for me, and this iteration was DELICIOUS. The history, the pining, the unresolved feelings?? I ate it UP.

And LUCAS. Our MMC. Our master in pining. Our green flag. Our nerd. Our overall man obsessed. This man had been carrying a torch for YEARS and honestly? I needed him to get his girl back so badly.”

“The fake dating trope is one of my absolute favourites and this delivered. The banter? Fun. The tension? Delicious. The emotional payoff? Fully earned.

Grumpy on the outside. Completely gone for her on the inside. He falls first, and hard. Supportive, attentive, quietly obsessed in the healthiest way possible.”

“This story has so much heart and, like everything else by Parker Elling, is so well written. Sophie was such a cool, strong FMC and Brody, wonderful, wonderful Brody was charismatic, fun and perfect.

If you are looking for a book that’s smart, warm, has great banter, funny and full of plenty of steam pick this up immediately”

“…whenever I finished a chapter, I would be reminded of just how creative, funny and emotional Parker Elling’s writing was in the other timeline.

Indeed, Lucas and Lorelai were just perfect, no matter the timeline. True soulmate penguins.”

“Then we have Lars who starts off with all the emotional warmth of a spreadsheet. This dude approaches relationships like a cost-benefit analysis and seems convinced that feelings are an inefficient use of time.

Watching him slowly realise he’s developing those pesky emotions anyway is one of the funniest parts of the book.”
