This short story/novella definitely packs a punch of romance, humor, and the reality of some women's lives. Jimenez's signature wit and banter are on full display and the interactions between Charlotte and Seth are laugh-out-loud funny, and their chemistry is undeniable. While the story is lighthearted, it also delves into deeper emotions. Charlotte's past trauma and Seth's vulnerability add depth to their characters and make their connection all the more meaningful. The premise of being trapped together due to a construction mishap is a fresh and creative take on the "forced proximity" trope. Abby Jimenez once again delivers a charming and witty romance that's sure to captivate readers.
