It’s impressive how the author can take a cliche and unrealistic premise and make it unique and believable. I never liked the concept of letting a stranger live inside your house as the start of a romance, but somehow it works. There is focus on the interpersonal relationships as well as the plot itself without favoring one or the other. I find the characters very dimensional and require effort to understand, which is a nice change of pace from most romances that rely on the relationship instead of the individuals. I thought the title was inspired as well. It’s really well written.
