Romance Tropes: forced proximity/friends to lovers. When my mom sets me up on a blind date, I go to great measures to sabotage it. That is, until I meet the girl and we immediately hit it off. At least I thought we hit it off, but when she gives me the wrong phone number, I realize it might have been a one-sided thing. Lake Hope is a small town, though, and she keeps popping up, making it nearly impossible to forget that raspy voice and the quirky way she refuses to swear and how unbelievably beautiful she is. When I find myself in need of a roommate, she practically begs me to move in. With one condition, of course: a list full of rules outlining that we are only roommates. The platonic kind. Not the kind where we slip into each other's rooms at night. Except she wears the teensiest pajamas around the apartment. And she insists on cooking weekly Pinterest meals together. And she somehow weaseled her way into my friend group, and every other area of my life. And now I'm absolutely, positively screwed because she just announced she's about to go on a date...with someone who is most definitely not me. [This is BOOK FIVE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]
