I have to say, I was really excited to read this based on the title — it sounded so fun and light-hearted! And honestly, I think this book is great for avid romance readers. However, I felt like it lacked depth. I didn’t really feel much tension between the characters; in my opinion, everything moved a little too quickly. I also found the main character a bit jarring at times, and overall, I just wanted more emotional depth. It didn’t really make me feel anything — and when I read a romance, I want to feel everything: the tension, the heartbreak, the happiness.
