I had this one on my list as a must for 2020, made sure to squeeze it in at the very end. All in all, I really enjoyed the story. It had friendship, humor, arrogance, and very very sexy.
I know there were mixed reviews online cause of the premise of the story. Yes, it's set at the beginning of this horrifying pandemic but the story and the characters reacted just as we all reacted at the beginning of all this. It definitely wasn't written in bad taste, point is, its a romance novel like all the others. Honestly I would have loved to be as luck as Sadie to find love during this pandemic.
The story takes place in an apartment building in San Francisco. Sadie is a romance writer and Evan is a football player, hiding in his friend's apartment from a scandal going on that may end his career. The two meet on their balconies and begin to form a bond and strong feelings for one another without ever touching and keeping themselves always six feet apart.
I gave this one a thumbs up! It had everything I was looking for, plus it was definitely a different angle from a story that we've all been experiencing.
Also..that cover though!
