I don’t care for romance novels too often. Even Emily Henry books that everyone seems to love, I just don’t care for.
I don’t know why this one was different for me, but I found it just an easy and fun little read. There were a couple of things I didn’t care for - it’s not perfect. Like why would she make her pitch to her dad for business during Thanksgiving dinner? Why was that the plan? Weird way to purposely create drama. But overall I really liked it.

Chose this as my Amazon prime book and read this short book in a day. Very light read that had me laughing out loud.

Entertaining, but not realistic. Character was funny, but also a little brat

I enjoyed this one! Each character was fun, real, and easy to connect with. Nana Rosie was particularly hilarious! This is definitely an easy read, and under 300 pages so you can get through it quickly. Worth a read!
