A Brush with Love

This is a cute book with some darker but important subjects. It speaks about anxiety, grief, what's important in life, and puts a nice contrast to the sweet storyline of Dan and Harper. I enjoyed reading it!

To be honest I don’t have much to say to this book. It wasn’t anything special but I still kinda liked it. It was lighthearted and cute. To be honest I didn’t expect it do be about oral surgery since the name is literally "a brush with love" and there’s toothpaste on the cover. It’s also not what I exactly expected because I thought it would be like a work place romance but they still go to dental school. Harper and Dan are both 26 years old. Tbh I don’t really know what to think of Harper and Dan, they were cute but idkkk. I loved Judy tho !! (Harpers cat). In this book there was also quite the angst. Harper has anxiety and has a lot of struggle with dealing with it. Dan feels like he’s being emotionally forced to do something he doesn’t want at all (be a dentist) because of a family legacy thing. I’m glad Dan worked things out with his mom near the end and that their relationship got better because I didn’t like her at all at the start. I didn’t hate Harpers friend group but it wasn’t one that really got me. I don’t really know what else to say. The fluff was cute and I liked the writing style. Even though this book was quite short (320 pages) it took me almost a week to read cause of work and stuff so yeahhh.

4.5stars At the beginning i thought its going to be a cheesy romcom because of the whole “i run into a cute boy and fall into his arms” thing..and it was kind of cheesy but in a good way! This book had enough depth to not only be a cheesy romance, the anxiety representation was very well executed and kind of heartbreaking. It was very easy to feel the connection between harper and dan! he was such a simp i loved it!! Trigger warnings: anxiety, panic attacks, parent loss
