Thank you to NetGalley, G.P. Putnam's Sons, & Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

This one hurts, y'all. It really does. I genuinely LOVED her debut book, Lease on Love, but this one didn't feel the same. It had some of the same aspects that made Lease on Love so much fun, but none of them hit in a way that worked.
Second chance romance & miscommunication (or complete lack thereof) are two tropes that have the ability to be amazing when done well, but combining two of the most difficult tropes and not pulling them off made this one pretty difficult at times.
Lana was a really difficult MC to root for, and I didn't particularly care about her relationship with Seth (which, unfortunately, is kind of a big deal in a romcom).
Ultimately, I can't find myself recommending this one - but I still stand by my recommendation for Lease on Love, and I know that I'll give her 3rd book a shot if she writes another!
