Rosie Graham quit her stable job to become a romance writer, but now she’s on deadline with massive writer’s block. She’s also homeless because the ceiling of her apartment fell down. Luckily her best friend, Lina, is away on her honeymoon, so Rosie uses the spare key and stays in Lina’s apartment. Lina’s cousin, Lucas, arrives to stay there too, which is tricky because it’s a studio apartment. They opt to not tell Lina for some stupid reason, and decide to cohabitate. Sure, there are other options, but they are pricey. Of course, Lina’s husband has an apartment too, but for some reason that’s never considered an option.
To help with Rosie’s writer’s block, Lucas takes Rosie out on experimental dates, which helps give her inspiration, but also deepens her crush in him. But Lucas is only staying for a few weeks and then he has to go back to Spain. And he’s dealing with the physical and emotional fallout of a surfing injury. Rosie’s brother is being cagey and there’s extra conflicts there, which felt to like a choppy subplot, where he’s an exotic dancer with an overbearing boss.
The book was very puttdownable, but I didn’t dislike it. The romance was ok. The characters were likeable and somewhat interesting. (7)
