Cute, sweet… This was the quintessential hallmark romcom, complete with a small town, country vs city trope, twin swap, dual chemistry-free romances, and a bow-wrapped ending. Nothing inherently wrong or badly written here, but ultimately completely forgettable. Honestly, getting rid of the love stories would allow the rest of the book to breathe and really develop bonds — but alas, this is a hallmark script.
