And right now, I was not just someone’s friend, a son, a worker, or a best man; I was Calla’s objective. How could I possibly be ashamed of who I was when a woman this special was searching an entire crowd of people just for me?

A month ago, I never would’ve believed I’d be in this position. Or that Calla would feel comfortable enough to be in a car alone with me. Seriously. A year ago, when she stopped over to see Luke, I waved bye to her with my pinkie. My pinkie. The girl had always brought out the weirdest parts of me.

“All right, killer. Let’s go, then.”

Calla bounced on her heels. “Are you coming with me?” Her tone was so sweet, so thrilled at the thought of me joining her on this midnight trip to a hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop.

I stood and stretched my arms above my head. “Yup, I’m gonna need a bodyguard if I’m out getting sketchy subs in the night.”

I’d hoped to slip into the class so I wouldn’t disrupt his lesson, but when he saw me sneaking in, he lifted his head, and his words trailed off. He smiled so brightly at me that my heart picked up an unhealthy beat. Thankfully, not many kids noticed. But oh boy, the moms did.

A super cute and fluffy romance! Great for those who like no spice. Calla and Nathan are adorable together and I love the tropes going on in this book! Seriously, roommates to lovers and secret letters/emails etc. will ALWAYS slap. This book also handles brother’s best friend trope really, really well. I find often times with that trope I’m always pissed off because the brother is dramatically protective over his sister and it’s honestly just weird. I was so glad that wasn’t the case here. 

I will note however that there wasn’t a whole lot of plot to this book, it was mainly just vibes, so if that isn’t your thing, you may not like this one. If you’re here for the vibes, read away!

a cute, whimsical romcom filled with funny banter! 

“here I was thinking we were living the brother’s best friend trope. turns out we’re fated mates, nathan.”

CALLA and NATHAN. these two cuties. while i loved calla ofc, my heart went out a mile further for nathan because HE WAS SO REAL??? like yes, that's how i picture real men in my head. he was awkward, easily flustered around calla, had morals PLUS played piano. what more would you want from a guy? 

and the emails? god, i loved the emails so much. shiny? that was so cute 😭

thank god i decided to give this book a chance

 tropes 
★ brother's best friend
★ anonymous penpals
★ roommates
★ introverted boy x extroverted girl

They were truly soulmates and Nathan was just adorable.

He thought she was a model when they met. Like deadass. He barely got a word out around her IT WAS ADORABLE😭

They were penpals since they were 13 and 15😭 how cute is that?!?

im honestly the stingiest when it comes to giving 5 stars to rom coms cus you know they’re repetitive and whatnot.
but this was so freaking good i could not NOT give it five freaking stars.

was it a little cliche at some points? sure.
was it still worth reading it? 100%
am i dating Nathan in my head as his side piece? mhm yep. totes.

this had such a typical rom com humour but reading this gave me so much happiness i don’t think i have enough words to express it. & the cute email exchange before every chapter ? the highlight of this story. who doesn’t want a cool anonymous best friend who knows about all your embarrassing moments ?! 
& PLEASEEEEE. who DOESNT want a golden retriever boyfriend who’s adorable & so squishy and just. lovable :( 


 here’s a few quotes from the book that i thought were adorable  

 “She was the first thing in my life that felt this…permanent. And I craved more of it. More of her.” 

“He was the definition of a people pleaser, until it came time to defend his friends. Then he was there, ready to fight to the death over one sassy comment. For years, he’d stood by Luke, and Layla too, when we were all working our hardest to bring the two of them together. He was slow to anger when all odds were against him, but if one of the people he loved was pushed, he became a force to be reckoned with.”

“That place had never been a home until Calla moved into it. And it had nothing to do with the curtains she added or the colorful throw blankets or even the fancy soap that magically appeared in my bathroom. It was her. Her warm, comforting presence. The way she made everyone feel valued and included. How, despite how overwhelmingly amazing she was, she was still so humble. It didn’t hurt that she was so beautiful my chest ached every time she’d prance by in one of those little T-shirt dresses she liked to wear.” 


 I REST MY CASE. ‼️
