Very cute, suitably steamy, and an overall enjoyable read. I'm struggling with my rating (4 or 5 stars??) because whilst I did have a good time reading this, I think the issue was maybe a bit too much telling and not enough showing. Specifically about Eve's issues. It made her character growth a bit meh because we didn't see any contrast, we were just told about it. Which is great for Eve but bland for the reader. It doesn't have enough meat to it, there's no emotional build up. It was also a little bit insta-love. The book takes place over a two/three WEEK period and the OTT loveydovey shit at the end was A Bit Much for me. I understand they were together, like, all day every day and that can be intense and people can bond quickly, but I still would have preferred a bit of a longer time frame.
On the positive side, the banter between the characters was a highlight, and I raced through it in one sitting.
5*'s, just because I want to start the year on a high (though I'm not sure it really deserves it).
Edit, 5 minutes later: I've already changed my mind. 4 stars.

This book is light and fun in a way that the other books in the series weren’t quite—though this one does deal with some serious topics. I can see some readers being totally turned off by the whole her hitting him with her car thing, but I felt like it was handled well. I loved the Lake District as a setting, and I also really enjoyed Eve and Jacob as characters.
I related to both of these characters more than was comfortable. I had fun with them. I even tolerated the miscommunications because they were very charming about it.
But I majorly just came out of this book (and this whole series) really wanting at least one book about Gigi, who has got to be the coolest grandma to ever exist.
Also, Eve’s music taste is far too gay for her to be straight. Sometimes two siblings are bi. Just saying.
