This was such a sweet, easy read. It felt like reading a hallmark movie, it was entirely predictable brain candy and perfect for a palate cleanser or dissociation read. Several times it introduced plot lines where we had the opportunity for it to go deep and
I still have no idea what caused the rift between her grandmother and mom, no clue if she will try and find her dad, sounds like her Mom will continue to just see her as a commodity?

Reliable, sweet, and easy - great chemistry between the two leads, I was rooting for them the whole time.
