    I highly recommend this book! It's a slow burn, unlike fast-paced, exciting novels. The author uses the quiet, everyday interactions to allow two broken souls to slowly draw closer and heal. Emotion is the core of the entire book; the characters are vividly portrayed, their emotions are delicate, and even the supporting characters have their own compelling arcs, making it hard not to love them. The overall workplace storyline is solid, the life storyline is realistic, and the emotional arc is nuanced. If you can take your time and read slowly, I highly recommend this book! You won't regret it.

It begins with "Hello" and ends with "I understand." A heartwarming workplace romance with a slow-burn spark Some people do like you.
