5/5⭐️ 3,5/5🌶 10/5🫠social anxiety Book blurb: "Sometimes, a simple field trip to the planetarium can be an act of bravery. In Giles Ashby’s case, it could also be a second chance with his lifelong crush. Unbearably awkward and strangled by his anxiety disorder, Giles used surly snarls and abrupt remarks to keep everyone at a distance. As a result and surprising no one, he finds himself divorced and overwhelmed by the demands of parenting nine-year-old Milo —a shy, awkward clone of his father. Not wanting Milo to struggle through life the way he has, Giles enlists the help of Reid Marshall’s new nanny agency. Of all the nannies in Manhattan… Reid had to send Giles’s childhood crush, Riley Fitzgerald. Still smitten and as flustered as he was in middle school, Giles bungles every encounter with the “new” nanny. But sweet, clever, outgoing Riley is exactly what Milo needs. Riley thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he accepts a position working for his childhood nemesis, but Milo steals his heart the moment they meet. And “Giles the Jerk” isn’t as bad as Riley remembers. Or maybe Giles was never really all that bad… Riley finds himself swooning as Giles faces his fears in order to help Milo survive the fourth grade and win the science fair. But can Riley really trust his heart, when all his past relationships have been cursed? Could this time be any different?" You are a Pride and Prejudice stan and love Persuasion with its right person, wrong time trope as well? Then this is the book for you! Giles is an introvertet nerd, suffering from social anxiety, trying to give his son a better chance than he had, while also nursing a forever crush on Riley. Riley just got dumped for the 100th time, believes he is cursed and just wants a new family to work for - but PLEASE not for 'Giles the jerk'. Little do they know that Riley stumbels back into Giles life and inproves it tenfold, while simultaniously breaking his curse and finding his Mr Darcy for life! And we all love a man who knows how to grovel... 😏 Enjoy! ~Rei
