This was an easy and enjoyable read. The book follows the evolution of Ari and Russel friendship while they plot to help their bosses get together again.

What to love:
- Heroine with depression (she's medicated and goes to therapy). I really like to read about characters that feel real, with whom I can connect and who contribute to the normalization of mental health care.
- Fat hero. (It was a first to me)
- Lindy hop! While it is not the same as going to an actual Jam, it was good enough to remember the feeling of it. Do yourself a favour and go to one experimental class wherever you live. The lindy hop community is just the best and you'll have a blast! It just not possible to not smile while dancing lindy hop.

The negative point for me is that I didn't feel much chemistry between the main characters, discrediting their romance.

However, I want to emphasize that Rachel Lynn Solomon wanted to create a story that showed a heroine that thrived despite her condition, and a hero who loved her through her dark days, not despite of them.

I think she succeeded.
