Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan. Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face any distractions, even one this adorable. A first-year dental student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn’t have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper’s rules. So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs, the two set out to be “just friends.” But as they get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is. Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling in love? Torture.

I planned on rating this three stars, but the last 25% of the book had me HOOKED to the point I stayed up until 1am when I had to catch a 6am flight. I read The Plus One first, now I’m going back to read the rest.
Harper and Dan are super cute by all means! Not a huge fan of insta-love tropes, but the morph into a best friend really set it apart. It felt repetitive at times, but Harper’s anxiety felt a little too relatable. I love how much the author champions therapy in her books and de-stigmatizing mental health issues!
