Michelle and Gabriel were childhood best friends. They did everything together. However, Gabriel's family overwhelmed him, and he decided to leave and go across the country without talking to Michelle about it. 14 years later, they haven't spoken since. Gabriel's gym needs a marketing consultant, and his business partner contacts Michelle. Gabriel goes back to New York to work with Michelle, and maybe rekindle their friendship and more.

This book was really nice. What I'm loving about Alexis Daria's books is how inclusive they are. She always showcases people with different backgrounds in her stories. I mean, the 2 main characters in this book are both bisexual! I also love that she makes sure her characters find resolution outside of their romantic relationship, as well as in it. Her characters always learn a lot about themselves and their livelihoods, separate from their partners. Gabriel and Michelle are awesome main characters. Their chemistry is off the charts, but they also are both very vulnerable and come with their own flaws.

Alexis Daria is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance writers, and I can't wait for what she comes out with next.
