Story
Maggie is an unapologetically grumpy forty-eight-year-old hermit. But when her college-aged son makes her a deal—he’ll be more social if she does the same—she can’t refuse. She joins a new online gaming guild led by a friendly healer named Otter. So that nobody gets the wrong idea, she calls herself Bogwitch. Otter is Aiden, a fifty-year-old optimist using the guild as an emotional outlet from his family drama caring for his aging mother while his brother plays house with Aiden’s ex-fiancée.

Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life. She's the next generation of women's soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous pain-in-the-ass who's turned our business mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top....

Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

Publisher's summary
Two high school BFFs reunite and endeavor to fix each other’s lives in this geeky romance from the author of Love, Comment, Subscribe.
Tam Doan dumped her boyfriend after he threw away her gourmet cheese. Sure, it’s a little more complicated than that, but the point is, he had it coming. Newly single and unemployed, Tam calls up her best friend from high school and utters the emergency code word - goldfish. Next thing she knows, she’s on a plane back home.
Josh O’Malley was a troubled, unconfident teenager. Now he’s the successful owner of a multimillion-dollar ghost kitchen. Tam, his high school BFF and fellow member of the Nerd Herd friend group, was instrumental in building his self-esteem. When she calls him out of the blue, he jumps at the chance to return the favor.
Josh and Tam immediately get to work fixing her life - but again, it’s complicated. Their close friendship was always a lifeline between them; a blooming romance might confuse things. Still, at least one thing is for certain: their chemistry is un-brie-lievable.
Critic reviews
“The novel is chock-full of cheesy puns, food descriptions, and excellent banter, with deft narration by David Lee Huynh and Jenapher Zheng. (Zheng's narration for Vietnamese American recovering perfectionist Tam is especially delightful.)”—Library Journal
“It’s palpable how much Tam and Josh care for each other…Yardley’s fans will gobble up this gentle but steamy romance.”—Publishers Weekly
“Yardley’s prose is summery and light—you’ll get swept up as Tam and Josh breezily fall right back into place as the lovably cheesy duo known as Jam. A mouthwatering romance.”—Kirkus Reviews

Pretty Gouda
Fluffy, foodie, friends-to-lovers romance that’s better than gouda. It’s actually grate. 😜
Cheesy puns aside, I really enjoyed this book in both eBook and audiobook versions. It’s very current and has all the elements I love in a contemporary romance — diverse, likable, multidimensional main characters in Tam and Josh who experience character development individually and also grow as partners, a cohesive plot that flows smoothly, and fantastic relationships all around. There’s just enough push and pull to keep things interesting without being annoying.
Bonus: the cartoon cover doesn’t indicate it, but there are several sexytimes that are actually brie-melting hot.

Very cheesy
Literally so cheesy! But in a cute way. I personally think that narrating it in two different genders was unnecessary, although I enjoyed the male’s performance best. The female narrator was okay, I just don’t think she was suitable for this story.
In regards to the story, it’s nice. I was not expecting the explicit scenes, it felt off with the story but it was still enjoyable. Apparently she smells really good for someone who doesn’t seem to shower that often LOL
In general, it’s a cute story and the end is very cheesy, which is fitting. Not sure if this is the author’s first book, but she’s got great potential and would be interested to read more of her work in the future.

unexpected
when I first read the title I thought it was going to be a lot more about cheese. boy was I fooled. yes it did include cheese but only a portion. it is about grade school friends that have remained best friends all through life and when they need each other the other one drops everything and helps. with spending so much time together, they end up getting feelings for each other and then things start to get complicated.

You had me at cheese
Tam and Josh were BFFs for years, but lost touch. When Tam needs help, Josh drops everything and is there for her. As they stay together and she figures out her life, they start to question why they never got together before. The only issue I had was the whole friends with benefits thing. It’s hilarious that these two, who have so much history, could think that’s a good plan. I can’t wait for more of this series.

Dual narration and a great story
This story was so much fun. I can identify with Tam and Josh and their “Nerd Herd” of friends. I really enjoyed hearing the story with separate voices for their points of view - really adds to my enjoyment of a book when I listen rather than read. Cathy really captured their relationship development, and her dialogue writing was just superb. Ready to hear more!
