A Brush with Love

"This is a sweet and adorable romance. I love that this is about dental school students and the cover completely sells it. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators were excellent. The female narrator, Emily Lawrence, conveys the perfectionist, anxiety ridden Harper perfectly. The male narrator, Vikas Adam, helps me picture Dan much better. Both of their voices fit the characters and their reading style was just right, I never drifted from the story. Instead I felt like I was watching a great movie unfold. I love that it is told in dual POV. <br/><br/>Harper is a dental student close to graduation. She is at the top of her class, and type A. Failure is not an option and when she feels out of control or feels like she is failing, her Chronic Panic disorder kicks into high gear. <br/><br/>Dan is a older, first year dental student because he never really wanted to be a dentist. Instead he loves finance. But his father died, leaving his mom to run their dental practice and he feels the need to help his mom so she doesn’t have to sell the practice. <br/><br/>When Harper runs into Dan, there is an instant attraction that leads to a “fake” friendship until Harper is ready to give into the attraction. The friendship is beautiful because as it unfolds we discover that both of these characters have suffered loss, and that loss has caused them to make decisions that impact their future. The guilt and the burdens they bare make them so real. Harper becomes vulnerable with Dan, and vice versa. When Harper finally does give into the attraction it is hot! <br/><br/>I recommend listening to this book, you will not be disappointed."

"I loved this book so much. I loved the female representation in the medical field. I loved how anxiety was shown in this book. I loved everything about it. Dan has my heart and I loved him and Harper together and how they came together in the end. 5/5"

"the Spanish love deception probably, you?"

"Such a quick read! Particularly a fan of the alternating perspectives throughout the chapters. Very cute :)"

"I thought that this book was good "

"I loved this book. It is a perfect balance of writing about mental health without mental health being the entire story. The main characters were well-written and relatable as mid-20-year-olds. They had adorable chemistry and the friend group around them was funny and sweet. Excellent read and I can’t wait to read more by this author!"

"I hate that I had to pick between like and dislike for this because I was indifferent on it "

"Sweet rom/com, gives some The Love Hypothesis vibes but also had a totally different vibe, kept me so captivated I read it in one sitting, no regrets. "
