REVIEW:

The title is pretty self explanatory. It is a chaotic mix of messy friendships, dysfunctional families and even messier relationships.

Teagan Hargrove is a law student with her life filled with schedules and to-do lists up her neck!
Freshly out of a relationship, and free from all classes with only parties and soirees to attend, she is now looking for a FWB who sticks to the terms and brings no complications.

Heath Reynolds is a ladies man through and through. Struggling to keep a woman for more than two weeks who can help him survive the summers at clinic and his friend's wedding, he strikes up a deal with Teagan, which seemingly looks full proof, straightforward and easy.

Until it wasn't.

With their shared past, and too many buried feelings and memories it becomes harder for them to stick to the contract.

Overall, it was an okayish read because I felt like skimming through repetitive details in between but what I loved about the book was that the author did a great job in showing the vulnerability of the characters, the difference of friendships, growth, the racism against queer and poc. Apart from that, the author briefly touches the topic of off-page abortion as well.

So if you love a second chance romance book with enemies to lovers & one bed trope, absolutely go for it!
