I love that the main character is called Olivia, and I am not sure how I would feel thinking my career was over so early :( Jonah sounds like my kind of character seeing as I am so goal orientated. And yay for Mack being an amazing best friend! As for Salty, Bitter, Sweet it is crazy because in January I read a NA f/f romance with the same kind of premise?
