A playful and emotional romantic comedy from the author of Ten Rules for Faking It Hailey Sharp has a one-track mind. Get By the Cup salad shop off the ground. Do literally everything possible to make it a success. Repeat. With a head full of entrepreneurial ideas and a bad ex in her rearview, her one and only focus is living life the way she wants to. No distractions. Wes Jansen never did understand the fuss about relationships. With a string of lackluster first dates and the pain from his parents’ angry divorce following him around, he’d much rather find someone who he likes, but won’t love. Companionship, not passion, is the name of the game. When Hailey and Wes find each other in a disastrous meet cute that wasn’t even intended for them, they embarrassingly go their separate ways. But when Wes finds Hailey to apologize for his behavior, they strike a friendship. Because that’s all this can be. Hailey doesn’t want any distractions. Wes doesn’t want to fall in love. What could possibly go wrong?

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
I was given the opportunity to read this ARC by Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press and I’m so thankful! This was a great friends to lovers slow burn story. It was closed-door steam, which isn’t typically a favorite of mine, but I can overlook it for a strong story premise.
Hailey after a bad breakup has moved out of LA and has opened a salad shop (honestly, made me want all the salads) and made some friends with local shop owners and a radio DJ in the area. She was introduced to Wes through these new friends and they immediately hit it off, though neither want a relationship. So they form a friendship and learn to trust each other until they can’t ignore their feelings for each other anymore.
While they’ve earned trust, they both still have issues giving totally in to what they’re feeling and how they approach issues. The conflict felt realistic and believable and they communicated well with each other, even when they didn’t agree.
This was a fabulous story and it was the last in a stand-alone series, I’m going to have to go back and read the others now too.
