Honestly, I almost didn't read this book because the cover style is so similar to many smutt  contemporary romances. Then, I almost DNF'd this book because the beginning didn't capture my interest very much. It felt like there was a lot of unnecessary wording and "telling" rather than showing. However, I was looking for a clean, lighthearted romance to cheer me up, so I decided to stick it out. After the bonfire scene, I was hooked. I was looking for a YA teen romance, and Moody absolutely delivered. There were minimal grammar mistakes; the characters were likable if not a bit stereotypical. It was loaded with low-stakes anticipation and cheesy romance. I imagine the rest of the books in the series are likely even better, so you will find me downloading Grumpy Darling on my next rainy day.
