Book Overview

A chronic yes-woman finally admits to what--and who--she really wants in this unforgettable and heartfelt romantic comedy, by the author of The Layover.
Liv Bakersfield is used to living her life in "shoulds." Be fit. Be financially responsible. Be your best self. An overworked graphic designer, she's stretched so thin that she's about to miss yet another vacation with her beloved group of college friends. But when Liv finally decides to start saying no, it feels good...good enough to leap straight into quitting her job and hopping on a plane to join them in South Africa. Amid the exotic landscape and unforgettable sights, Liv expects sun and safari animals and an easy time with her best friends. But such close proximity makes everything more complicated, especially with the emotionally unavailable Lucas Deiss. Their friendship is the only thing in her life that's still solid, and she vows to do anything she can to keep the group together. But once they get back to LA, Liv discovers that her leap of faith has become a freefall, sending her crashing into Deiss's arms. With the trust of the people she loves most on the line, Liv must decide between doing what she should ... and risking everything for what she shouldn't want.

Romance

This is a Contemporary Friends to Lovers Romance Fiction. This book was so much fun to read. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I loved getting to see the main character, Liv learn to really live. I loved the romance in this book. The romance was slow moving, but it was so cute and fun. The ending was the normal romance book ending, but I enjoyed it. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
