Sadie wasn't looking for love until it landed on her doorstep. After getting passed over for an overdue—and much-needed—promotion, Sadie Green is in desperate need of three things: a stiff drink, a new place to live, and a one-night stand. But when an accidental mix-up lands her on the doorstep of Jack Thomas's gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone, it's too bad Sadie is more attracted to the impressive real estate than she is to the man himself. Jack, still grieving the unexpected death of his parents, has learned to find comfort in video games and movie marathons instead of friends. So while he doesn’t know just what to make of the vivaciously verbose Sadie, he’s willing to offer her his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet. And with the rent unbeatably low, Sadie can finally pursue her floristry side hustle full-time. The two are polar opposites, but as Sadie’s presence begins to turn the brownstone into a home, they both start to realize they may have just made the deal of a lifetime.

This is a fun book if you go into it not expecting too much. The characters aren't that likable and the story isn't memorable, but it is cute and overall a good read you can breeze through in a weekend (I enjoyed it enough that it warrants 3 stars instead of 2).
i was really hoping for something like the flatshare but i'm almost halfway through and i'm bored and not clicking with the writing style, so it's time to give up.
This was the debut novel of Falon Ballard and I really liked it until the 90% mark, when all hell breaks loose for the final conflict. I'm still willing to forgive the conflict and give it 4 stars.
This book follows to characters dealing with their traumas: Sadie trying to overcome an abusive childhood and Jack, grieving his loving parents deaths.
Sadie and Jack met by accident but end up helping each other finding their way through life. The tension between them is off the charts and I enjoyed reading their romance.
We only get to read Sadie POV but Jack was definitely my favorite character of the story and I wish the author had included more about the work he was doing to deal with his grief and become the person he wanted to be for Sadie.
