Cute read! It's the first Amy Lea book I've read and I liked it enough that I will certainly read the other books that are a part of the series.
I found the characters loveable and the story a cute one. I love a good fake relationship trope. I do think the characters had some growth, but it felt very surface level and we didn't really dive into how they worked through that growth, which is why it doesn't get a higher star rating from me. Buuuuttt, still so adorable and worth the read.
I thought that I wouldn't love the lens of Mel being an influencer and Evan being a gruff wilderness man - it seemed like that would just be too big of a personality clash for two people to get over. But Amy and Evan just love so fully and completely, and by the end I was truly convinced that they loved each other for who they area. It made the story feel real and genuine.
