Notes: The 4th in the "The Improbable Meet-Cute" novella series (6 stand-alone novellas released around Valentine's Day 2024), I liked this one well enough. I think some stories are well suited to novellas, but this one felt like it had so much potential to be a longer novel and have the relationships and characters explored more fully.

Okay this one was also a short-40-pages story but for some reason, I did not like it. It must have been the fact that both MCs are just not likable?

Daisy is so stupid. I think I'm just not the biggest fan of grumpy/sunshine when the sunshine is so painfully dumb. Who, in their right mind, thinks someone who is literally slipping extra goodies into their bag hates them?? I just think that this was too improbable of a meet cute. It's not a meet-cute. They "know" each other.
Also having sex with the guy you thought hated you a few hours ago because an earthquake proved otherwise is insane. As a born-and-raised Californian, I (and the folks I know) often do have things hanging over the bed. I don't know why that bit bothered me so much but it did.

I didn't care for this short story at all. Did not like the plot, the characters or the writing. This author is just not my cup of tea.

Inclusive with positive depiction of plus-size MC but potentially disturbing that her love of pastries is central to the plotmonica_85's review against another edition

Cute story. Daisy's laughter and smiles were contagious. I'll be looking for more from this author.
