- desi FMC and love interest, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers, office romance
- it was average, nothing special
- felt like author overexplained emotions, by using characters to tell other characters how they were feeling
- nice father-daughter relationship, strong family ties
- lil spicy but not too graphic
- enjoyable, but not a must read

This started off slow but by the end I waa really invested. There was a great, diverse ensemble cast and I found the characters super loveable. Can’t wait to read the next one!

3.0

NOT A ROMANCE WHERE THE GIRL PROPOSES 😭 I was appalled. Other than that, this was a very safe, averagely entertaining romance. I liked the story but at times I felt like the writing jumped around too much. Layla and Sam were very Wattpad in both an enjoyable and cringey way. The spice was there but lacking. One thing I did like was how quickly their miscommunication problems were always solved. This was a very solid, Hallmark channely angst-less romance.
