A fun but maybe-too-forgettable romance. I like having a cast of quirky characters, especially nosy neighbors (even if I'd abhor them in my personal life), to round out the story so it's not all about the destined couple-to-be. This felt particularly necessary here because Will and Nora are drawn together by an immediate attraction, and of course none of the minor obstacles in their path will keep them apart.

I suppose my main complaint is that it just felt too easy; a character would make a hard decision once, and then have no trouble making it happen. I also don't tend to like/believe "love at first sight" stories, but I knew what I was getting into with this title, so the fault is my own for perhaps wanting more build up! Minor spoiler:
I do adore the idea that they wouldn't have been right together if they'd met as teens. They needed to grow as individuals so that when they really met as adults, they'd actually be suited for each other!
