Immediately sad about John.
That said!! I like Michael and I like Francesca. Their constant pushing one another away was a little tiring by the end, but their genuine friendship saved it for me.
They have the typical Julia Quinn™️ banter, and when Fran finally opens her eyes, the chemistry really hit as well. Their "oh but we shouldn't!" dance was annoying, but understandable.

there are lots of great moments in this between michael and francesca. i LOVED how michael encouraged francesca to take what she wanted, even if it hurt him in the process. he has loved, longed and pined for her for YEARS.
there’s just something about how this book was written that made it so much more heartwarming, mature, raunchy, and realistic. and i think the reason for that was because her innocence and virtue/virginity wasn’t a central part of the book like the previous ones. michael did not care that frannie wasn’t inexperienced, he liked that.
despite how much i enjoyed this one, some parts of the book still annoyed me, especially when they kept arguing with each other and with themselves and whether or not they should marry. and frannie running away at every turn she got was funny the first time but then it frustrated me. but at the same time i still understood why they were feeling so conflicted despite their shortcomings.
nonetheless, i still highly recommend this book.
