I didn’t like this one as much as the other two in this series, but still enjoyed it! I had a little bit of a hard time understanding Theo and what his character was supposed to be. But still a very fun, and fast, rom-com!!

I really enjoyed this book. I think this might be my favorite of Jasmine Guillory’s series so far. I loved Maddie and Theo. They were interesting characters, with interesting flaws and careers they care about, and I really enjoyed their chemistry on the page (or in the earphones in my case).

In this romance, Maddie and Theo don’t get along. They left a bad first impression on each other years ago and generally avoid spending time together, except that they share the same best friend. When that best friend (Alexa from book 1 in the series), gets engaged, they both end up in the wedding party and end up spending a lot more time together. You can guess where that leads.

It’s predictable, but the journey was fun. I will say that there is a scene with a political protest that becomes violent that was a little jarring as a reader in 2021, post-Capitol Insurrection. It’s a quick scene, but fair warning if you also feel a little triggered by that right now.

These books take place in the same universe and past characters make appearances, but you can totally read this one without having read any of the previous books in the series.
