Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she’s running late for her first day at her dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable.
Izzy takes that PSL.
It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only way further ahead in the queue—and she’ll take whatever bad karma is coming for her; she’s desperate and very late. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his made-for-GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Karma who? Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising, until he says to her: “See you tomorrow, Amy.”
Izzy reasons she can just straighten things out the next day, no biggie. Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips—the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might’ve been charming to “Amy,” but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who does not find her explanation funny at all. But day by day, an attraction simmers between them and they’ll have to find a way to work together without ripping each other’s heads—or clothes—off.

Originally published as a serial in the author’s newsletter, this lukewarm friends-to-lovers rom-com from bestseller Painter (Better Than the Movies) improbably hinges on a minor misunderstanding. Determined not to be late on the first day of her dream job at tech company Ellis Enterprises, Izzy Shay decides to do something out of character: she steals an unclaimed pumpkin spice latte that was intended for “Amy.” There’s no major harm done, as she’s already paid for her own drink—until she accidentally spills her coffee down the front of a stunning stranger she dubs “Mr. Chest.” It’s a charming meet-cute and, after some flirty banter, both feel an instant connection. However, upon leaving the coffee shop, Mr. Chest calls Izzy “Amy,” and she doesn’t get a chance to correct him. Later that day she meets the VP of her department, Blake Philips—who turns out to be none other than Mr. Chest. Blake, whose ex-girlfriend lied to him repeatedly, is far from amused by Izzy’s dishonesty. Painter sets myriad obstacles in her leads’ path to love—chief among them being their professional relationship—only to immediately smooth them away. The result is rushed plotting and unbelievable characters driven entirely by their attraction. There are plenty of funny and heartwarming moments along the way, but they don’t add up to a cohesive whole. It’s a disappointment.
