A cute story, but not my thing. As someone who loves a slow burn and isn’t a fan of insta love, this book just wasn’t for me. It was predictable (though most romance books are) and moved SO fast. I understand it’s a novella and we have to work with only so many pages, but there seemed to be no character building, and I didn’t find myself rooting for the two main characters. 
The “conflict” was something that could’ve been easily resolved and didn’t feel like this big heartbreaking thing that I think the author was maybe trying to do. 
Also…. Al?!? That’s the sexy name you’re gonna pick for your leading man? Oof.
