June and Levi were best friends as teenagers but drifted apart and haven’t talked for 10 years. After they both have devastating break-ups that spread like wildfire over Tiktok, Levi is back home determined to finish the book he started writing and to make up with his ex-best friend. When a photo of the two of them goes viral #RevengeEx goes into effect and they pretend to be dating each other- he wants to make his ex jealous and June wants the publicity for her failing tea shop. They can fake date without getting their feelings involved, right?

This adult contemporary romance by Emma Lord feels exactly like one of her young adult novels, but with slightly more adult content. I could tell immediately who had written the book because her easy reading style was the same, and her characters were likable, dramatic, funny, and totally relatable.

June is keeping her sister Annie’s dream alive by running her tea shop Tea Tides, and using her newfound TikTok fame to help pay the rent. When Levi re-enters the picture she is faced with not only dealing with why they haven’t talked in ten years but also dealing with the feelings from her sister’s death. This novel has tons of layers taking the reader on a journey as June navigates her future. So when you pick this book up be prepared to laugh, but to also connect with your own feelings. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest.
