THIS WAS GREAT. This book solidified my love for the slow burn AND for Mariana Zapata, the queen of contemporary romance that's full of realistic and lovable characters, great friendships, complicated family dynamics and swoon-worthy slowly evolving and developing romance that gets my fluffy heart beating faster and my mouth forming smiles and smirks every 9 minutes or so.
I 10/10 adored Luna as a main character, adored her happy-go-lucky attitude to life after all the tough things that she's been through, her relationship with her little sister and Mr. C, the half-sister representation and the emotional struggles that come with that and her constant need to not make mistakte, avoid confrontation and overthinking everything - because it's what I do. Top notch me-representation and that's always good to make me feel connected to characters. I was totally on-board with the romance from the get-go (even though it was hard to read Rip, her love interest, and I didn't fully grasp his feelings and thoughts) - mostly because grumpy guy + happy girl, age difference and boss+employee.
Note 1: I want to shout about my love for the "comforting eachother" trope because it's STORY GOLD. It always makes me happy and works for me to feel for both of the characters.

4.5⭐️ Something about this book doesn’t scream 5⭐️ to me and I’m honestly not sure what it is. BUT I did really like this book, I loved the romance. I didn’t like the conflict towards the end of the book, which kind of took off that half a star. Luna and Rip we’re very cute together though. I also wish I had a little more of them together, together (if you know what I mean

SO GOOD! I couldn't put this book down, I ended up reading it one night. My only regret is now its over too soon!
This book was the perfect slow-burn, angsty, funny, sweet and all around butterfly inducing mix that I have come to love with Mariana's books.
Everyone should go read this book now!

It took me awhile to read this because the intro is so slow, but once I got into the story I couldn't put it down.

The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that the male narrator of the audiobook ruined the audio version for me. I got a few chapters in and switched to just reading on my Kindle. I think they were going for "dude with hella deep voice" but instead, it sounded like Rip was a 78 year old man doing his best Johnny Cash impression. But the actual book? 10/10.
Oh my goddddddd. This book goes on my "God Tier" of MZ books with The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Truly. I loved every single second of this book and found myself reading certain pages 2 or 3 times because they hit so perfectly. I don't know if I have ever highlighted more sentences and paragraphs in any other book before.
Luna Allen has to be my favorite FMC of all Mariana Zapata books. Honestly, she may be one of my favorite book characters ever.
A million stars.
