This book totally snuck up on me in the best way. It’s fast-paced, funny, and just the right amount of chaotic.
Darby Vaughn is a relationship expert whose entire world implodes after a very public (and very humiliating) breakup. What follows is a wild mix of scandal, reinvention, and the awkward, hilarious, and occasionally sweet road to figuring out what she actually wants.
Darby’s voice was one of my favorite parts…sharp, witty, and totally relatable. I loved watching her try to navigate the mess of public image, heartbreak, and second chances, all while trying to hold it together (and sometimes very much not). There’s a great balance of laugh-out-loud moments and surprisingly tender, introspective ones too.
And yes, the romance subplot is adorable. The banter is top-notch and the chemistry? Definitely there. It hit all the right notes without ever overshadowing Darby’s personal growth, which I really appreciated.
It’s light but empowering, messy in a fun way, and delivers just enough scandal to keep things interesting. A solid pick if you’re in the mood for something that blends humor, heart, and a heroine you can’t help but root for.
