This was a fun, enjoyable quick read about two people, Sophie and Max, who fell in love, although they didn't want to at all cost. I enjoyed the banter between Sophie and Max and in general, the humor of this book. I was giggling a lot. Overall it was a great time. I also loved Sophie's elderly roommates and the cats. However, to the end the book was too focused on the physical relationship between the main characters for my taste. There are a good amount of spice scenes to the end and I don't enjoy reading spice that much.
i was hooked from the very beginning and it only got better! the chemistry. the banter. THE SPICE. it's a solid 5 all around from me. i wasn't sure about the whole ‘professional wedding objector' thing at first but it was so fun! the chaos of it all was kind of everything

I mean this in the best way when I say this book is 90% banter. It's funny, easy-to-read, and I had an absolute blast. Foul-mouthed, octogenarian roommates. Cute non-date dates. Quick and witty conversations.
The blurb is a little misleading. Midway through the book it turns more towards a fake dating trope than a friends-with-benefits trope (which I still love, don't get me wrong). The climax at the end is a little weak but I wasn't bored.
It doesn't have a whole lot of depth but it is a very very fun, and not at all mentally taxing. A great option for a nice palate cleanser romcom between more involved books.
