This was a cute and easy read that I genuinely enjoyed. I think the characters were really well developed and felt easy to relate to. The dynamic that the TV show brought in was fun and made the story more engaging, and Astrid's journey of self discovery throughout was a more hard hitting element that I wasn't expecting to read in this story. 

Overall I liked this read, it just wasn't necessarily one that stuck out to me or that I'll be thinking about for a super long time going forward. Hence, the medium tier rating.

I just couldn't connect to these characters or their romance at all. 

With Astrid, we have the bonus of already knowing her from book one, of having some idea of who she is and how she acts but for Jordan we don't have that — and still, we get nothing. 

Yes, the "I'm scared this woman is just using me to figure out her sexuality"-thing is a real fear many queer women have to deal with (for example: me) but here it was portrayed in such a negative light without any opportunity for Astrid to give her two cents about it that it all seemed unfair.

I can't even tell you what I think about any of the plans regarding the inn because there Astrid AND Jordan just acted rudely and unfairly towards the other 24/7 and it brought me no enjoyment whatsoever.

My liking of the first book got me through ~⅓ but after that I really had to push myself to finish.
