Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut. As they pretend to be exes, Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other. In an industry that values truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their careers.

A little on the simplistic side, but a cheesy romance story “enemies to lovers” trope with a fair amount of steam. Was a nice break from the larger fantasy novels I've been reading and provided some respite and a few laughs.
Very cute and enjoyable romance. While the setup is somewhat predictable - two people meet and immediately dislike each other, only they end up drawn to each other, the story is also about overcoming grief, facing change, being alone in a new place, misogyny in the workplace, honesty, and overcoming obstacles for something that is worth it.
It took me until about 15-20% to get into this. I almost thought about DNFing it. I never really felt like I connected with Shay and she honestly seemed kind of whiny. Then the middle part was great once they start doing their radio show and getting to know each other. The story kind of fizzled again at about 85% and the conflict felt too over the top dramatic to me.
