An amazing debut and required reading. This is a new voice and a new take on an old trope (workplace romance, enemies to lovers). Thorne pulls it off because these characters are just so unique. Being in Lucy's head is hilarious and moving at the same time: you can see her prickly honesty and understand her freak outs. Joshua is just as interesting and Lucy's first person narration is absolutely necessary here: he's so hard for her to read that we get to know him alongside her and that's magical. Everything she learns, bit by bit, uncovers so much secret tenderness and intense emotion. A wonderful wonderful book!
