Real footage of my cold heart thawing after reading this little cutie of a book.

I haven't enjoyed a chick-lit/romance book this much since reading [b:The Rosie Project|16181775|The Rosie Project (Don Tillman, #1)|Graeme Simsion|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1371651741l/16181775._SY75_.jpg|22084678] in 2014... it's been a while.

Read this in one day, absolutely adored Arthur and Bernie, such well behaved sweeties. Nora is unlike our usual chick-lit heroines. She's not clumsy, oblivious, self-pitying, yada, yada. She is a mom of two and she is ON IT. There is a fair amount of silliness and "could have been easily avoided" conflict buuut , this is a chick-lit after all, it is to be expected.

Perfect summer read, this book delivers. Or as my Gen Z besties like to say, "This book is GIVING"

 Short, sweet, cute. Light read and not too deep. I wanted more from it.

I wasn’t getting much from Leo or Nora in terms of character development or chemistry between them in the beginning. Their relationship seemed to happen too quickly and be too easy to seem realistic.

The central conflict is pure dumb miscommunication that could literally have been solved with a voicemail or text. And the ending is so 🙄🥱
