Two things made this a particular winner for me. 1: The secondary characters were utterly delightful; Teddy works as a personal assistant to an incredible pair of elderly sisters who have a penchant for drama. 2: The setting of a retirement community. 

I found Ruthie so endearing and Teddy entirely charming. Their slow burn relationship was wholesome without being corny. I laughed out loud on more than one occasion.
