Brush with Love
"Mazey Eddings’s writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely romantic! To me, it’s like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
"An unbelievably cute and funny debut about friendship, the expectations of family, and mental health. A Brush with Love fills that itch for a STEMinist rom-com with laughter, slow-burn romance, and toothy puns." - Buzzfeed
Nine out of ten dentists agree, Mazey Eddings's rom-com A Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!*
*not scientifically proven
Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan. Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face any distractions, even one this adorable. A first-year dental student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn’t have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper’s rules. So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs, the two set out to be “just friends.” But as they get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is.
Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling in love? Torture.

Such a wonderful story. It's a bit of a slow burn romance and filled with oh so much attraction and stolen glances.

it was perfect
as a marvel (mcu) fan i’ve got to say i LOVED how the 3 spider-man’s were included
This was a light read but also touches on complex family dynamics and mental health. I thought the author did a good job of portraying anxiety in a very realistic way. The pressures and expectations Harper places on herself start to come to the surface and she's forced to see things from a different perspective. Dan on the other hand is avoiding his mother at all costs because the pressures of having to run his father's dental practice is just too much for him to deal with while also trying to get through classes.
I thought the audiobook was really well done. I would recommend this book overall.
