Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for access to this novel. I really enjoyed both FMCs and their perspectives. This competitors to lovers story pitted Remi (who has been bartending for years at Gabriella's bar) against Maya (a new hire and the daughter of Gabriella's friend Laney) in a battle to win a bartending competition put on by their boss. I loved how Remi's idea of family grew in the novel from her roommate and foster sibling Ben, her boss Gabriella, and parental safe space figure Darius to include Maya and her family. Although there was quite a bit of trauma bonding and this contributed to the conflict in the novel, I wasn't frustrated by the conflict and enjoyed the ending a lot!
