Thank you so much to Love Notes PR and C.G. Murray for the ARC! 

This book has so many good things in it. It has reverse grumpy x sunshine, chronic illness representation, a golden retriever love interest, a fantastic cast of side characters, a cozy coffee shop, and a romance that will melt your icy heart. 

I had so much fun reading this. I saw a lot of myself in Rose. Her imposter syndrome, chronic illness, and love for art were all things I could relate to. I really understood her as a character and was cheering her on the whole book. Phillip was a near perfect man and love interest. He was so kind and committed to Rose. He was so understanding of Rose's chronic illness and insecurities. He never pushed her but always made sure she felt heard and seen. I admire the man Phillip is. He is a true golden retriever. 

Overall, I really liked this book. What a great debut! I look forward to reading more of Murray's work. 

(A note to the publisher: There were some typos and grammatical errors in this book that made it a little unpleasant to read. Some of the sentence structure was confusing and didn't flow well. While I was still able to enjoy the book, it would have been near perfect had these issues not been overlooked.)
