It was cute and cheesy but a tolerable amount of cheese.

I could see how all Emily’s second guessing and over complicating things would be annoying but I kind of related. Simon’s extreme grumpiness was over the top and the change from grumpy to lovey was not gradual at all but

overall it was a nice story and an easy read

Come for the low-stakes enemies to lovers, stay for the supportive family (both blood and found).

There were so many things I loved about this book, but if I had to be honest, I loved Simon's character the most. I mean, a cute English teacher who organizes Renaissance faires and plays the role of a charming, swashbuckling pirate? The resident tsundere who's secretly a romantic nerd at heart that engages your literary banter and quotes Shakespeare sonnets like the back of his hand? There's no wonder why he had my heart the entire time I was reading this.

This was adorable. It took me a little to get into it, but once it got going I was sucked in. I loved all the characters - the protagonist, the love interest and the glorious array of supportive, fleshed-out side characters. Just lovely.

It wasn’t overly fluffy, and dealt with heavy themes amidst the romance. As per usual I skimmed the

explicit sexual content

as that is really, REALLY not my thing. The dynamic of the romance was wonderful though and I loved how both characters had growth both in the context of the relationship as well as personally. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

simon’s brother passed away from non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, and a lot of his character is driven by his grief and mourning his brother. emily has just gotten out of a five year long relationship where her partner devalued and put her down, and a lot of her character is driven by her not feeling good enough as a result of this treatment.
