I liked it, it was cute. 

I think my biggest problem(?) with it was how little of their initial interaction we actually got to see because that basically makes up the basis for why they like each other. 

Once they realized who the other person was, of course they’d start to like each other/think about each other (although
I liked how Rosie rejected Vance when he asked her out at first because she didn’t like the person that Vance was presenting at the time and simply the memory of nice Vance wasn’t enough to make her want to go out with him. I also liked the scenes where they read to each other; that was cute
) but I feel like we didn’t get enough of that initial contact to understand why they liked each other so much.
