Thank you @BookSparks @neelyalexanderwrites and @harperperennial for the gifted copies.

I am so excited to be an ambassador for @booksparks Spring Reading Challenge #SPRC2024 #TheNewClassic and this was the perfect book to kick it off!

I read Neely Tubati Alexanderโ€™s debut ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ and I loved it. Her writing was casual, witty and yet, still romantic. That same writing shines in ๐ˆ๐ง ๐š ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐’๐จ ๐๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐. 

A dared kiss in a bar sets in motion this flirty strangers (really neighbors)-to-lovers romance. Sloane and her neighbor, Charlie, are both nursing broken hearts, but Sloane pours her heart into her work as a video game designer while Charlie is trying to make his ex jealous – with Sloaneโ€™s help. 

This all results in a trip to a beautiful Turks and Caicos resort with, yep, only one bed and a lot of rum punch, ocean breezes and starlit nights. As easy as Sloane and Charlie fall into spending time together – things are messy. Sloane needs to land her dream job, but there are huge roadblocks and red flags. Plus, this trip was originally for Charlie and his ex. Who wants to be a rebound, right? 

I loved how Charlie was the calm to Sloaneโ€™s whirlwind, yet Sloane was the strength for Charlie with his many fears. Add in an adorable rescue pup, Sloaneโ€™s emotional support hoodie, and the hilarious revenge game she designs, and this was a huggable romance.
