I was expecting something way more generic and trope-y, but was pleasantly surprised to find this book is not that. If you're looking for a well written, cozy book that is emotional, but also lighthearted this is a fantastic semi-fast paced read.

The characters are fun and this is Grumpy x Sunshine done right.

This is one of the most romantic books I've read in a long time. I literally watched two people fall inexorably in love with each other. It's so tender, and sweet without being saccharine. It felt real and genuine and beautiful.

This was such a cute romcom, and I loved that it was inspired by Sleepless in Seattle.

It was perfect for the hopeless romantic in me, I loved seeing two people who think they won't find love fall in love.

This book started out strong, I liked the concept, I liked the characters but I started to lose interest about 3/4 into the book. This might have been better on audio since it features a radio talk show.

This was such a comforting book. It instantly pulled me and I just didn't want to leave.
It has the vibes of a beautiful love letter to Sleepless in Seattle.
