Annie moves to a new place to step away from a broken engagement and ends up with a forced roommate in an Airbnb rental. Sparks start off with their first meet itself but due to her bitter experience with a horrible ex-fiancee, she doesn't want to tangle herself in anything. The roommate Emmitt, just returned from China after an assignment gone crazy and is also dealing with other issues within his own family. Can they stay away from each other?

Also Annie was actually adopted from Vietnam and was raised by white parents. This brought in refreshing change in heroines found in regular rom-coms. When such people have confusion with their identities and the way they are treated by some jerks is really portrayed nicely. It fits into two romance tropes - enemies to lovers and forced proximity.

Overall, a fun, cute rom-com which is perfect for a summer read.
