What If You & Me (Say Everything, #2)

When I read grumpy neighbor in the blurb to this, I had to read it. The grump/sunshine trope is catnip for me and I will never get enough of it.
Now my darling OCD reader friends, close your eyes for a second. Because I'm about to admit I didn't read book one in this series. I said close your eyes and stop judging me. GOD! Where was I? Ah yes. This is shocking, considering I've read most of Roni's backlist and I seriously have no idea how I missed book one in the Say Everything series. But I was so excited for this book after reading the blurb, I couldn't wait to read book one first. So here we are. *grins unrepentantly*
If you're looking for a swoony, emotional read with plenty of steam, look no further. This story seriously packed a punch of the feels. We have a heroine who's a horror writer and a true crime podcaster. Quirky heroine lovers, you'll want her for your bff. It's impossible not to love Andi straight off the bat. Her dark and painful past is something you learn as the story progresses and I swear it made me love her all the more.
Andi is struggling to write her newest book, and her noisy neighbor stomping around in the apartment next door through all hours of the night doesn't help. And can I just say I loved the way they meet? Because I didn't know whether to laugh or swoon. But I digress again.
Hill is a former firefighter with a tortured past. Still reeling from the loss of his career from an injury that almost cost him his life, he broods in his apartment and avoids people. But when his sweet and beautiful new neighbor crashes into his apartment fearful that someone just broke into hers, he can't quite avoid her.
This was a sweet, slow burn romance. I loved the friendship that Andi and Hill formed before the romance ever developed. The chemistry was always there but it took a bit to bubble to the surface. There's also the added element of suspense which added another layer of interesting to the story.
While sweet romance isn't typically my cuppa, this one did hit the spot. I loved Hill and Andi together. I loved that the author took such a heavy subject matter and managed to not weigh the story down with angst or drama. It was just two people dealing with the demons of their past and learning about themselves through each other. A truly satisfying, swoony romance with plenty of feels and a dash of suspense.

He listened. He hadn't pushed or rushed her. He hadn't cajoled. But more than that, he hadn't made her feel wrong or broken for being the way she was. He'd simply been with her in that moment, meeting her where she was and seeming to enjoy what thye were doing as much as she did.”
