With Love, From Cold World

She has a to-do list a mile long and falling for her coworker isn't on it—yet somehow he’s become her top priority in this romantic comedy from the national bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers. Lauren Fox is the bookkeeper for Cold World, a tourist destination that's always a winter wonderland despite being located in humid Orlando, Florida. Sure, it’s ranked way below any of the trademarked amusement parks and maybe foot traffic could be better. But it’s a fun place to work, even if “fun” isn’t exactly Lauren’s middle name. Her coworker Asa Williamson, on the other hand, is all about finding ways to enliven his days at Cold World—whether that means organizing the Secret Santa or teasing Lauren. When the owner asks Lauren and Asa to propose something (anything, really) to raise more revenue, their rivalry heats up as they compete to come up with the best idea. But the situation is more dire than they thought, and it might take these polar opposites working together to save the day. If Asa thought Lauren didn't know how to enjoy herself, he's surprised by how much he enjoys spending time together. And if Lauren thought Asa wasn't serious about anything, she's surprised by how seriously he seems to take her. As Lauren and Asa work to save their beloved wintery spot, they realize the real attraction might be the heat generating between them.

i genuinely really enjoyed this even though it was so incredibly cringey sometimes. but it was supposed to be cringey because it was supposed to be real and human. it’s surprisingly very deep and heavy with certain topics like foster care and parental disownment due to lgbtq identity. but also, it was really sweet and kept reminding me of that quote, “to be loved is to be seen” because those two really saw each other.

Cute, but also very frustrating. I was not impressed by the main characters.

This had my stomach in knots for way too long but it was worth it in the end! The empathy I had for this FMC I just wanted to give her a hug. This is dislike to lovers in which they dig at each other without realizing how close to home they are really hurting. But the setting and the writing is amazing and they did (FINALLY) get to a place of love and understanding

I absolutely loved this book. Rivals to lovers in a work place? Mhm. We are here for it. Add in some bisexual rep and found family? I’m telling you, it’s so good. Set in a winter wonderland in the middle of Orlando, Florida with banter and friendships and so many laughs.

For starters, this cover is so freaking beautiful. I absolutely love it.

This book follows Asa and Lauren who are coworkers that irritate each other. A contest at work forces them into each other’s lives and things progress from there.

I ended up loving both of them and rooting for them. They are both dealing with a lot and are figuring out how to develop a relationship.

It was lovely.
