this book was phenomenal.
moving forward, every single rom-com i read will now be compared to this, however this sets the bar so unbelievably high that I fear nothing will compare to it.
this isn’t a wanky cliche romance.
these characters feel real - they’re complex and make you feel exposed, but they’re also relatable and comforting and you root for them as if they’re your best friends.
you need to read this immediately.

Was at least hoping she’d go on actual dates? The purpose of the radio show was a complete flop without the dates, much like this story.

This book is also extremely forgettable as nothing notable happens and the dynamic between all of the characters lack depth. We don’t even get to see the main characters get to know one another in any meaningful way. The intrigue was lost before I got halfway through. Meh.

This was a charming romance,  I would give it 4 stars. I have liked this author’s books overall, small town romances for the most part, though this one is in Baltimore. Some sexy time but not a ton, just charming funny characters. The presenting plot doesn’t really matter that much in this kind of romance. It’s the vibes, the banter, the funny scenes, the emotional moments. I shed a few tears, but it wasn’t ever cringeworthy plot devices. Recommend if you like that kind of romance! It was a very feel good read. ☺️ Very enjoyable overall. #4stars #charmingromance
