A certain point, I kept reading out of spite. I am fairly certain this author looked into my brain and saw all my pet peeves and shoved them in a novel. I will say I did read the entire thing (perhaps in an attempt o find something redeemable or maybe I hate myself). The only thing that I liked was the fact that the book was over.
The main character is such a Not Like the Other Girls that I wanted to simultaneously knock her over the head and pay for the therapy she so desperately needs. Seriously, I laughed when she said she was not judgmental. She went on a whole rant basically slit shamming women and the close they wear (sorry not everyone dresses like they are the spinster aunt in the 1800s). She treats a lot of the women in the book like crap. She only has one freind that is a woman (always a really read flag about deep seated internalized misogyny). I could go on a whole rant about this issue. She also stays in a job she clearly hates for w no real reason (she says it’s to get contacts in the publishing industry, but she makes no effort to actually make contacts.) she is so immature and childish I have seen 13 year old boys with more maturity. When she said that no one at the office likes her (except two guys (one of which wants to date her), I thought it might be a toxic environment, but the more I read the more I realized that she is the toxic person.
The love interest has so many red flags you could see them from space. He keeps calling her “little one,” which is not cute that is infantilizing and only something a grandparent should call you. I physically cringed every time he said that, which was a lot. As a side note, authors need to stop making every person who is a woman small. In this novel she is somehow 2 feet smaller than him. That would make him 7 feet tall or she has to be less than 5 feet tall. I feel like the author just does not understand how high works. Anyways, the main love interest is also a stalker (to the point where he literally admits it). That is not cute and I think the girl needs to take her toxic butt to therapy and maybe get a restraining order against him.
Save yourself the torture and do not pick up this book.

This was such a sweet, funny, feel-good rom com romance!
Friends to lovers, workplace romance.
Luke and Layla have been in each others friend zone for three years now but neither know the other feels the same. So when they go on a work retreat, all bets are off. Risks and jumps are taken.

Had me hooked right to the end!
I've just finished reading this delightful gem. With captivating storytelling that effortlessly drew me in, the author crafted a fun story that felt relatable in many ways.
As the story unfolded, I couldn't help but become attached to the lovable characters and felt invested in their individual journeys. The author's writing style had me seamlessly flowing through the narrative, wondering what would happen next while cherishing every moment.
I can honestly say the ending was satisfying without giving away any spoilers. I loved the pranks too.
Per My Last Email is everything you could want in a romcom – rich characters, a compelling storyline, and a lovely conclusion. I hope you'll experience the magic of this book yourself, and trust me; you won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to more Wells Family tales!
Thank you for the ARC, Juliana.

This was a STUPID CUTE love story and a great way to spend my evening while my husband played “Metal Gear Solid.” I literally laughed out loud several times, and the pining/slow-burn was done very well (silly jokes, sunscreen application, and slow dancing were all micro-tropes). The BIG MOMENT came at 90% (it WAS satisfying and did NOT come after a 3rd act breakup, thank the Almighty). BUT the rest of the book kind of felt like a weird wrap-up which lacked the emotional oomph I was hoping for with a friends-to-lovers plot. But still tons of fun and perfect for fans of Jim & Pam from “The Office.”
