This feels like watching a 2000's rom-com but I think it's actually aged better than many a 2000's rom-com? There's a real snap and fizziness to this story and the banter between Cal and Min is fantastic, as is the way they consistently have each other's backs throughout the story. I also loved the supporting characters and how lived-in this book felt. There's a sense of whimsy and something almost magical to this book, as the universe keeps on pushing Cal and Min together.
