I loved this book so much!!!! A friends to lovers workplace/vacation romance with so many Star Wars references and some Office vibes! It is a slow burn romance, and the friendship between Layla and Luke is adorable. I love how their relationship developed throughout the work conference and learning about the reason why they were in the friend zone in the first place. Luke's family is a great addition to the story, and I can't wait to read the next book coming out in Fall 2023!
Every time Layla called Luke "Skywalker" or they mentioned Anakin, I was squealing in happiness! Their banter and pranks with each other and Nathan reminded me of the early seasons in The Office. Luke is a cinnamon roll and remembers every little detail about Layla, like keeping her favorite snacks in his desk. Layla is a strong FMC and deserves all of the happiness in the world.
I was smiling throughout the entire book! It is a sweet and light rom-com that I think anyone could read and hopefully enjoy.

I LOVED Baggage Claim and have been anticipating this new book for weeks now!
It did not disappoint one bit! I read it in one night and absolutely adored both main characters!
Layla was was funny, happy and just so sweet and Luke was a sweetheart; a sexy, funny, tall and handsome sweetheart. I like the way Smith made Layla’s character dress modestly at work and I loved that she showed Luke falling for her mind, her personality and her sense of humor first before her beauty!
The scene when they first met was just perfect! It gave me Pam and Jim vibes and made me want to get an office job just to have the kind of fun they were having at work!
The fact that they ended up being best friends was the cutest thing. I just loved the dynamic between the two of them and let’s not forget Nathan of course! Their back and forth banter was hilarious! I can’t believe it took them 3 whole years to act on their feelings, but it was entertaining to watch. It was definitely a slow burn, with only mild spice. I really liked that both characters ended up pursuing their dream careers in the end. Oh and can we talk about how Luke went up to Janice and said “PER MY LAST EMAIL”

I truly have never laughed so hard at a book before getting my hands on this one. I’m in love. If you love a best friends to lovers, witty banter, found family, slow burn, this bad baby is for you! I couldn’t find a single thing wrong with this book, I truly enjoyed every single second of it, Luke and Layla are to die for and Nathan? Jesus take the wheel he killed me, you ever watch new girl? One word, Schmidt. That’s all folks. Add this romcom to your TBR. You’ll thank me later.
