It was a pretty standard "close friends who can't be lovers to lovers" story. It was obvious who she would end up with in the end, and basically every other plot point was on the mark. I think the misunderstanding that led to them not dating 5 years ago was a little thin, especially that they're so attracted to each other that they have to make rules for continuing to live without the other.
I thought the dates were entertaining to read about, although every character was some kind of archetype. I agree with another reviewer that Haleigh had much more chemistry with Brian than she did with Jack, so it was frustrating knowing throughout their mini relationship that it was never going to last. It was cute. Helped me get through a 6.5 hour car ride so it was definitely engaging.
