I find it very difficult to understand the hype on this one. I found the dialogue incredibly clunky and awkward and it pulled me out of it regularly. I also found the plot to be… completely implausible. Football player turned country singer turned chef and he was not only great at all of them but also seemed to passionately love all of them. The FMC was a Mary sue to the point that they even point out her perfections in the book. Every struggle seemed to be overcome within a chapter with no long term consequences. I don’t know… I’m baffled people love it 🤷‍♀️
