This was a fun read. It had slow burn, it had instant love, it was giving "You've got Mail" vibes, and it had a strong FMC.
Personally, in most cases I'm not a big fan of miscommunication or in the case of this book the intentional sabotaging of a (potential) relationship over having a hard conversation. I also got a bit thrown off when the setting shifted to the pandemic. It turned out to be a great setting for the majority of the story, but it was a bit out of left field.
