Ella-Mei is in her seventh year of studying in Lund without really knowing what she wants to do with her life, other than posting about the books she is reading on BookTok. Her friends are getting married and having children, while Ella-Mei is renting out a room to survive financially. When she gets a new roommate, she sees a calm, harmless guy in front of her. It should be simple, impersonal and definitely not romantic.

Instead, Chris appears: dangerously handsome, hopelessly sloppy and not at all the type she had imagined. He is a nuisance, he takes up space and seems to glide through life without taking anything seriously. Ella-Mei thinks he is superficial, while he sees her as predictable.

When she is faced with the choice of joining the Lunda Carnival, where Chris is the carnival general, she decides to show both him and herself that she can actually have fun in her last year at university.

But when the steady routine is disrupted, everything becomes more complicated than she imagined, and soon it's hard to decide whether Chris is ruining her life or making it a little more worth living.

I Love You, and It is Ruining My Life is a romance full of heat, humor, and sparkling chemistry.

Reviews: 

"OMG!!! what an absolutely wonderful book!!!
A truly delightful romance!! It’s just so lovely! You get exactly what you’re hoping for, and then some!

Plenty of love and just the right amount of drama. And what I really appreciate—now that I’m reflecting on it—is that there aren't those *insanely* frustrating communication breakdowns between the characters that you sometimes see. Of course, there are communication issues, but they feel much more realistic to me.

I also love the Swiftie references throughout the book!
It’s so fun that there’s a playlist included, too!" - Boktokfeelgood

"There is something irresistible about this book.
Like a delicious chocolate you don’t quite want to finish. A cozy romance that, beneath its cheerful surface, holds a warm, relatable story about standing still while life rushes on around you." - Booktokan
