Really gorgeous book, it's cheesy but also has a lot more depth than I expected. You not only get a romance but a really beautiful reflection of the main character processing family trauma, which I found really touching.
The only reason this loses half a star for me is that the main character seems to have a really problematic relationship with alcohol which is constantly laughed off. Almost all of the scenes between the romantic leads involve alcohol, including some where they clearly drive while very intoxicated.
