The plot for this was interesting and there were so many funny lines throughout.  Unfortunately, I thought the character and relationship development fell short. There were some interesting aspects of the characters that the book never go to really explore. The main plot, where the FMC has to spend a lot of time with various other suitors to try to secure a proposal, took up so much time that it didn't allow much room for the actual romance to be developed. I found the abrupt changes in POV, sometimes in mid-paragraph, to be quite jarring and strange. The characters in this book are in their mid-20s but for some reason, they read as late teens or early 20s to me. I still enjoyed the book overall, but I wish I could have felt more strongly about the main relationship.

The love story was admittedly cute, but the plot didn’t do much for me, and the characters weren’t very compelling.

Loved it! Such a fun, lighthearted period romance. My only wish is that it would be more diverse! But overall I am very happy to have read it.
