"How obvious is it?"
"Oh, you're both total goners."


I first heard of this book while listening to a podcast and I immediately knew it would be for me. And lord did it deliver.
This is a novella and as much as I thought this was the perfect length, I selfishly can't help but wonder how the author would have stretched this into a full length book. But because it was a novella, the pacing was quick and I constantly just wanted to keep reading.

I absolutely loved both Maya and Charlie. Maya is this force in the political world as a strategist and has this opportunity to meet her childhood crush Charlie Blake who wants her to use her talent on his musical comeback. I had to laugh at Maya with her internal monologue when it came to talking and the initial meeting with Charlie. "I used to think my life would really start the day Charlie Blake knew my name." It just felt relatable. Even now being almost 40, I think I would become a puddle if any of my boy band crushes would reach out to me. Heck even if they look my way during a concert. I just really loved how their relationship grew from this professional meeting to slowly they couldn't stop chatting and being around one another. Their chemistry was so strong and Charlie was so enamoured by Maya. He was smitten from the very beginning.

I just enjoyed this book from start to end. The whole wedding scene was my absolute favorite between Maya and Kate to Maya and Charlie. I am still thinking about the two and hope they are happy together traveling the world!
