Doug and Sophie have been part of the same group of friends for years. Now that their respective best friends are married, they are spending a lot more time together, something Doug doesn’t mind at all but Sophie finds frustrating.

Doug is the kind of guy that doesn’t take anything seriously, and loves all kind of antics. Sophie knows herself and what she wants, and though she thinks a turn with Doug would be fun, it would be too messy since they wouldn’t be able to avoid each other afterwards.

When Doug shows up on Sophie’s door needing a place to stay, she should have turned him away, because now that he is in her space she finds herself contemplating giving in to his requests. Besides, if no one else knows, then they can go back to just begin friends when he goes back to his own place. Right?

Their banter is fantastic, and had me grinning through much of the book. They are each intelligent, confident personalities and their conversations showed the depth of their characters, but Doug was always ready with a quip (or innuendo) as the situation demanded. Their chemistry resonated not just in the wit they threw at each other but also in their reactions as their proximity changed and they found themselves together in close quarters.

This was a hilarious rom-com with great friendships, backstory, and outrageous scenarios that had me laughing out loud. I loved that we got more from each character than just their surface stories. The side characters were great to revisit, in the case of Hart and Bryson, but were also great additions, as in the case of Sophie’s grandmother.
