This was super cute and a really pleasant surprise.

I really enjoyed bot of the main characters and their slowburn romance. The setup maybe was a bit unconvincing and you do have to suspend your disbelief, but how much realism do you actually need in a romcom?

I also really liked the whole friend group and their little side plots, I'm actually liking it very much that the author didn't do the whole series of companion novels with all the other friends, which seems to be a trend lately. I love that we got one book with a full and compact story and I can move on.

What I appreciated the most in this one were the traumas both of the main characters went through and how big of an impact it had to their personal storylines as well as their relationship. I feel like the author handled it very well and it definitely gave this book another layer of complexity which you don't often get in this type of story.
