Apparently February is my month of reading rom coms inspired by Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movies (nothing wrong with that!). This Sleepless In Seattle inspired book was a slow burn to start, with some spice in the final third. It was a cute, quick read. I liked the radio call-in concept, but I feel like it could have been fleshed out a little better.
Personal preference (and dumb nitpicky criticism on my end) but I can’t imagine anyone with the name Aiden as anything but a pre-teen boy, so it was hard to imagine the MMC for me.
Also, bonus points for the random mention of the very best Greek dessert: galaktobouriko. I was maybe a little too excited for that.
