I enjoyed this book. I particularly liked Portia and how nuance her character was and seeing her growth. I do wish we had seen her stand up to her parents more. I also did not love Tavish, which is not what I expected because I am always down for a grumpy Scot, but I found him to be a bit too assholish at times.

I listened to the audiobook, and I was not a big fan of the narrator. Her Scottish accents were not great.
