I am quite easily bored with rom-coms when they are just lighthearted romances without the com(edy). But in my opinion this book was incredibly funny...yes, the characters are sweet and their romance is, with a few exceptions, really cozy and their character development is nice but the banter and absurdity kept me reading because I was actually rotfl.
