Sam Becker loves—or, okay, likes—his job. Sure, managing a bed-and-bath retailer isn't exactly glamorous, but it's good work, and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running.

Nice and silly. Low stakes romance with characters that are unlikable but in that “person with flaws but still lovable” way ykwim? Very good at the chemistry as well, the banter and the yearning felt very real. Love a good adhd/autism couple, it’s always the best dynamic. Same as in boyfriend material, but still not in a way that feels repetitive. I like the way Alexis hall does the third act breakup, and in this one the tension ramped up very nicely and then didn't overstay its welcome. Loved the narrator for the audiobook, love the hatred for London. Yiu don’t need to be the perfect person to deserve love, you don’t even need to not be a dick, you just need to show a little emotional vulnerability to someone and appreciate the world for what it is
