****SPOILERS****
*****************
The beginning of this story was a bit rough. It wasn’t written very smooth which had me wondering how the rest of the story would go.
Luckily, it got better as it went…?
Granted, Jeanie annoyed me throughout most of this. She was a very annoying person. And then somehow it changed and she wasn’t as annoying and it focused on her just being “super nice” to everyone.
The miscommunication trope always has me rolling my eyes. The idea that Jeanie came up with keeping things quiet and then, it’s been what, 4 short make out sessions means she’s obsessed and all of a sudden they need to be proving it to the town but then Noooo They can’t do that!? And then wait, no they should do that. wtf. Stop, just stop. Calm down. 🙄
Okay and at the end, IM SORRY NORMAN but that would’ve been a DEAL BREAKER if I was Aunt Dot. The audacityyyyyyy!! You send someone to threaten her niece in the middle of the night and break a window… and it’s just: “omg I love you though.”
RED MF FLAG. Bye Norman! Idc if it “went too far,” or it “wasn’t actually him though..” or “I didn’t mean for that to happen specifically…” I’m sorry, you still had the idea, the audacity and the stupidity to do that to someone else because you were jealous. Not to
Mention the other crap he did around the cafe to make things harder for Jeanie. Stfu right now.
ANYWAYS. Despite all of this messiness, and focusing on the rest of the storyline between Logan and Jeanie, it was okay. A nice fluff story about the two of them and having found her new friends. That stuff was cute and all good and dandy.
I’m still interested in book 2. Maybe that one is better.
