This was fine to me, but I didn't love it, even though I wanted to! The overarching plot of the book was cute, but I didn't feel the chemistry between our two main characters as much as I wanted to and I wish there was more time for the love to develop between the two of them. It felt like it went from friends to lovers without any time for the actual romantic feelings to blossom, which left me feeling a little disappointed. The chemistry between their parents on the other hand was super apparent and made me want to read a book about their love story! Overall, I think the book was a tad too long and the relationship building was a little too glossed over but I did find it to be a fun quick read.
