“I know you” when the mc’s have only had 5 conversations before he says it… whaaaat? So many people get annoyed with the big man/slight girl dynamic. It’s over done. But I can’t hate a book just because that is a part of it.
Also, the joke about frostbite… it should have been actually addressed… because in no way did she not have almost die in a frozen tundra and not have lost toes. And she gets a NASA assigned snow suit and he saves her in a NORTHFACE and ski mask?
The Mars boobs/body comparison was just awful.
But over all it was a cute novella. The miscommunication was short lived. I feel like this could have been a full length novel and been good!
