Such a fun and quick story that was easy to get hooked to. Luckily I didn't have to put it down and devoured. Though it was predictable at times, it worked perfectly for this novella and I love these two MCs so much.

This is a quick short read. Molly Graham works for a very special museum in New York. It’s a museum of literature. And her museum is just getting ready to start an exhibit on Jane Austin, and some books have been lent from a very private estate in the UK. On the night of the big Premier party, our main gal, Molly has had enough of peopleing and goes back to find there’s a stranger in her office. Figuring this stranger is some ductal candidate they have a fantastically fun night together as this new British guy, Al, just wants to see the sites of New York. They have an amazing couple of months together and Molly thinks things are going somewhere until one day she is ghosted. She is left at the Met and her date never shows up. When the end of the exhibit comes, she’s travels to the UK to return the book and finds, her Al waiting for her. This book is exactly what someone expects when they read the title and the description. This book has all the tropes, but you love them. This book is very predictable, but the book is about the ride and how you get from the beginning to end, then the ability to predict, the happily ever after. This was a fun romcom and I really enjoyed it. It was just the perfect length. Any longer and it would have veered towards boring or overdone. This is the first book in a series and it was good enough, I’d pick up the second book.

Jenn McKinley does not disappoint. Yet another great story from a great author. This book while a short story has all the feeling.

I usually hate novellas and like royalty in modern day and love at first sight. That being said I really enjoyed this book, I liked the characters and I found them to be realistic and relatable.
