Tropes done well, soooo well. I enjoyed the banter and there are so many lovely tropes that were executed well. The declaration of love at the end of the book was adorable. Main characters are well developed, but the side characters fall a little flat- when you even get to see them.
I rated it less stars because sometimes the pacing felt off and things wrapped up a little too rapidly for my taste. Also, it was very British in terms of dialect and writing style, so at times I had to reread dialogue or internal monologue to get the intended tone and such.
It's a very enjoyable read if you like tropes and storylines that focus solely on the two main characters.
