3.0

This book was light fluff that made for a quick read. At first it gave me similar vibes to "The Holiday" but with a summery twist as opposed to a Christmas story. The premise was intriguing and I loved the little village the MC was visiting. There were also lots of cute and fun book references all throughout that made me smile. However, the story itself fell a bit flat.

I really didn't feel much chemistry between the MC and the LI and pretty much all the characters were relatively underdeveloped to the point of being dull. The story itself was a bit weak and drawn out and the pacing didn't quite flow. I was also a little disappointed in how needlessly slow the romance was, especially considering how insta-love their attraction was.

Overall this was a cute book, but honestly, I felt a little let down.
