Review:

I’m mixed on this book. It was very good, but it also was a little too much. I liked how the characters each had very real flaws that challenged their relationship. It also talked about Alcoholism a lot, which was really interesting to read about. The main character also has a pacemaker and is very casually pansexual, which is really cool. I like how they didn’t make a super big deal about it; it was just a part of who she was. The sex scenes were a little too much, tho. I actually would have been completely happy with this book without any of that. It just didn’t add anything, and I actually think it took away from the struggles of the characters.

Trigger Warnings:
Alcoholism, Abusive Language, Stalking

Synopsis From Book:

She’s written off more than she can chew… Romance author Sophie Lyon’s ironic secret just went she’s never been in love—and it’s ruining her reputation. With a manuscript deadline looming, Sophie makes an ambitious plan to overcome her writer’s reunite with her exes (including her last girlfriend Carla, the one person she could have loved) to learn why she’s never fallen in love, and document it all for her millions of new online followers. Luckily, Sophie’s reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose—a former teen heartthrob—has social media all figured out and is willing to help. What he doesn’t mention is that he’s an anonymous online crafter, a hobby that helps him maintain his sobriety. No one knows about his complicated relationship with alcohol, and with a family that’s Hollywood royalty, Dash has to steer clear of scandal. As Sophie and Dash grow closer, they discover a heat between them that rivals Dash’s pottery kiln. But Sophie needs to figure out who she is outside her relationships, and Dash isn’t sure he’s stable enough for the commitment she deserves. So Sophie suggests what any good romance author a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Surely a strictly casual relationship won’t cause any trouble…
