Hunter has secretly been in love with her best friend’s brother Dylan for years, despite barely registering as a blip on his radar. She’s not even in the friend zone—more like friend zone adjacent. But her luck is about to Dylan is taking over her spare room, and she's being promoted to roommate. Could this be the moment Dylan finally notices her?
Not so fast. When Dylan moves in, he carries more than just boxes—he brings complications. Suddenly, the dream of living under the same roof turns into a daily struggle. Dylan is off-limits, for reasons Hunter couldn’t have anticipated, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore her feelings.
But Hunter’s determined to keep her heart in check—no matter how difficult the task. She just has to avoid ogling him in a towel. Definitely don’t imagine what’s under the towel. And try not to swoon when he bakes cookies.
But after he saves her from a terrible date and they’re forced to share a sofa bed at his parents’ house, her emotions reach a breaking point. She’ll have to either move on or move out. Will she tell him the truth—or lose him forever? (Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads)
I love the Funny Feelings book series! I’ve read the other two books that are in this book series, eagerly anticipating Hunter’s story. There were foreshadowing moments in If The Rings Fits (reviewed here), highlighting the fact that Hunter and Dylan would become roommates born from convenience, but for Hunter, the situation is a dream come true. She’s had a crush on Dylan for years, yet he’s been none the wiser.
Despite the years she’s pined for Dylan, Hunter has never felt like she’s in Dylan’s league. She sees herself as a self-professed nerd, more on the shy and reserved side, while he’s outgoing and vocal on mostly everything, well-liked by everyone. It makes him an easy catch, something she ends up witnessing with the new woman in his life–a woman who appears to be more than perfect for him. Hunter could never compete, but she can’t continue pining for someone who never really sees her.
It’s what propels Hunter into trying out online dating, which ends up becoming a lot more than she ever bargained for. And meanwhile, on the Dylan front, he underestimated the situation he’s in with his girlfriend. Maybe what looks great on paper (and even in person) isn’t always the right fit. And maybe the more time he spends with Hunter, the more he sees who she really is, which only confuses him even more. And neither Hunter nor Dylan wants to do anything that could potentially damage their long-term friendship.
There are a lot of moments presented to both characters that test their limits. Dylan is a decent man and always wants to do the right thing, even if it comes with a price, and Hunter focuses on Dylan’s happiness but soon learns that her happiness is important, too. It was nice to learn more about both characters but it was also sweet to revisit the other characters from the other books in this series. The writing was fun and quirky and I felt invested in how things would turn out for the unlikely roommate duo. It was a five-star experience for me!
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for the book in exchange for an honest review.
