I laughed ridiculously loud!
Popped! was absolutely hilarious from start to finish. I made the mistake of reading it in the waiting room at the dentist office while my kids were in their appointments, and I SNORTED laughing. Loudly. Not a subtle little chuckle either — the kind that makes the receptionist come over to check on you because clearly something unhinged is happening. She asked what I was reading and immediately added it to her TBR after I warned her this book should probably come with a “do not read in public” label.
The characters completely made this book for me. They were chaotic, lovable, funny, and somehow felt like real people by the end. The chemistry was so good, the banter was perfection, and every interaction felt effortless and entertaining. I didn’t want to leave their world when the book ended.
Also, I don’t even drink, but this book had me ready to pull up a chair at the bar just to destroy those burgers because somehow they sounded life-changing.
This was the perfect mix of funny, heartfelt, messy, and adorable. If you love m/m romance with amazing characters, incredible humor, and the kind of story that makes you laugh hard enough to concern innocent bystanders, absolutely read this book. Just maybe not in a waiting room.
