I feel like I wanted to see an elevation of everything in this book. Like the basis of it was solid, and it’s ultimately not bad, but it was very same-y along the way. The art was cute but got a little stale after a while, there wasn’t a lot of show-don’t-tell, and the conflict could have had higher stakes. Maybe I just don’t read a lot of romance, I don’t know. This book is cute, and I may be nit-picking.
