Okay, I enjoyed this one right from the jump! The dedication was so great that I immediately texted my sister to tell her about it (because it basically was dedicated to us, IYKYK) and then had to message Hannah about it! I really enjoyed Jude and Olena's story in the first book but I LOVED Ada and Jesse's in this one. Avoidable forced proximity is quickly becoming one of my fave versions of the trope (as in: the idiots put and kept themselves there but didn't reallyyyy need to) and the friends to lovers aspect was SO well done here. I could tell they were friends since childhood, with the added layer that he was really her brother's best friend. Their banter, with, snark, and taunting of one another were all Incredible. I said this with the last one and it was even more abundantly clear in this one: Hannah really writes playful banter and friendly physical touch very well. Until it moves beyond that and then the spice is SPICY. I laughed, I teared up, my heart broke for them all while I wanted to just shake them and tell them to get it together, and then I felt it in my chest when they finally did. Loved them and loved it! Also, it had been a little bit since I read the first one, so I was proud of myself for pretty quickly realizing the side character connection before it became way more obvious later on (did I have to go back and search the name in the first book to make sure I was right? Yeah. But I was!). Oh and the neurodivergent rep was great again too!
