I tore through this rom-com super fast! A few years after being left at the altar, Lina is up for a job that leaves her collaborating with (the worst!) Best Man, her ex's brother who was apparently behind the breakup. We see two people who despite some misunderstandings, use their words to communicate and act like adults. This one pulls out some common tropes and while they're not groundbreaking, they sure are fun! ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick We get a steamy romp with two people who both have something to prove in their collaboration & actually use their words to communicate with each other! I'm not sure if some of Lina's Brazilian culture references are stereotypical or over the top, but it was a nice nod to the character's heritage.

This book gives such a clear impression. A story set in snow, told in as few words as possible. Below the surface it‘s dark though. Ice and snow melt, the earth becomes visible again, as do the deeper layers of the main characters. Are they building a friendship or were they always opponents? It‘s hard to decide who to trust and who‘s the deceiver. Especially when you‘re not sure if you can trust the narrator. So much packed in one little book 🤍

readordierachel Great review! Excited to start this one 3y
