If you're looking for a short, spice-free romance, this is a great option! I loved the characters and got really invested in their stories. 

The writing style felt a little too "narrator conversing with the reader" at first, which threw me off in the first few pages. But either I got used to/didn't notice it as the story went on, or it got less prominent as other characters were being introduced.

I was really hoping to find out what happened after the press release came out!

Minor: Death of parent

FMC's mom died when she was young. MMC's mom has Alzheimer's, but I didn't see an option for that.

Kinda cute but I just don’t get why the whole conflict was even a big deal??? And the side characters were very one stereotypical and one dimensional. But definitely a lighthearted read

This reads like a Nora Ephron romcom from the 90s. Loved it ! :)
