“How incredible it was to be loved by him.” 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—Anna writes romance novels and relationships that are HEALTHY. Lachlan and Everleigh’s story is definitely heavier than her others, but their emotional growth—WITHOUT A THIRD ACT BREAK UP—was great to experience.

When Everleigh’s apartment catches fire, she moves in with a friend of a friend. Her roommate, Lachlan, is a struggling writer who sleeps all day, opting to write and cook in the evening while everyone sleeps. He and Everleigh build a friendship through exchanged sticky notes, until their paths finally cross. Their friendship grows into more, until they their dependency on each other is challenged, forcing them to find new ways to care for themselves and their relationship.
