This was super cute, and I wasn’t expecting it! I am normally not big on the friends to lovers trope, but this book pulled it off so well. Dani and Max were so easy to root for. Both were lovable in their own ways, and I appreciated that they both respected the other and supported them.
Max’s parents were horrid, and we didn’t really see a lot of Dani’s. I wish we had gotten more insight into her life in NYC, but I’m guessing at least part of that was covered in the first book of the series.
Really enjoyable read that was an unexpected hit for me!
