A fun and sweet read, largely predictable, but still so good because it reads as episodic and sitcom-esque. Some of the stories are a la ‘New Girl’ in their energy, which is unsurprising as that’s one of the author’s favorite shows. The last short story was a pleasure to read, and felt like an insight to how Bolu Babalola fell in love with love and romance.
