While the story itself was cute in concept, the execution fell a bit flat for me.
First of all, the romance was a heavy dose of insta-love and while the first 85% of the book kept it light and sweet, there was one scene at the end that confused me with its more provocative language. It felt inconsistent.
Next came the characters. While some of them were really cute (like the candy shop owner and the elderly gentleman the FMC befriends), the others were really bizarre. I especially disliked that one of the storylines involved a young woman who is openly trying to starve herself to lose weight because she lied about herself on the internet to her long-distance boyfriend who she's never met and wants to be engaged to by Christmas. UMMM??? Talk about a giant red flag moment here.
All-in-all, I wouldn't pick up this book again. There were some cute parts of the story, but I really didn't enjoy it very much at all.
