A nice simple read, light-hearted and funny, if at times a bit cringy.
A few of the scenes did make me creep me out a little and had me do a double take - yes, there was no verbal consent and some lines really were said. For what it is tho (basically a daydream of a romance and not a realistic take on it per se), it falls in line.
Also The Restaurant Incident (the book itself calls it that) was.. kinda really bad, noone in their right mind would have said "its been real" and a cashier will charge you, even if "you provided some real theater"..
Kinda feels like a wattpad read but in a good way i suppose
