This book left the same sort of impression on me as a lot of contemporary romances, which is I close the book and go “that was cute,” and then promptly move on.
The premise was interesting (although, my physics major husband was quick to ruin the science behind Jack’s NASA mission when I tried to explain it to him), and the characters were charming. There was nothing necessarily wrong with it—in fact I read it really quickly, so something obviously kept me turning the page.
It didn’t inspire the impulse to giggle or kick my feet or anything, which makes me think the problem might’ve been that I didn’t feel much chemistry between the main characters. I don’t know.
But overall, it was fine! Very cute.
