I absolutely loved this book! I was immediately hooked from the very first chapter. I promise you will laugh out loud at so many moments throughout the book. The banter is fantastic.

Devon goes on a trip to Chicago with her sister Tara, and they are doing karaoke when Devon falls off the stage and hurts her foot. Of course, someone gets it on video. The video went viral, garnering millions of views. She wakes up in a post-op recovery room, rapping and singing along to music. In comes Dr. Jeff Harrison, an orthopedic surgeon, who checks on how she is feeling.

Fast forward a few months, and Devon, a teacher, is back home in Philadelphia, meeting her friends at a bar when they introduce her to their new resident at the hospital, who is none other than Dr. Jeff Harrison.

The story is told through a dual POV, which made seeing them both fall in love with one another so much better. Both main characters are so lovable. Devon is hilarious, and Jeff is so sweet, thoughtful, and would do anything for Devon.

Lastly, I really appreciated that Devon is such a strong advocate for mental health among her students.

This is a must-read book, especially if you love slow-burn rom-coms! If you love Sarah Adams, Abby Jimenez, or even Meghan Quinn books, then you will fall in love with this book!

Final Score 5/5
