3.0
funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
This book was fun, I liked the characters and the story. Small things really pulled me out of it. I hid them in case you don't want to notice them, not plot spoilers.
For one, Lucie smells like daisies? I work with flowers and love daisies, they don't smell like anything. And it's mentioned multiple times. Second, Aiden's hands are upside down. More than once his thumbs are mentioned being where they shouldn't, like somehow brushing Lucie's neck when putting her headphones on her head. I actually had to flip my hands around and try to figure out how he could possibly be positioned. And they keep talking about pineapple pizza! The moment it was mentioned I rolled my eyes as it's classic dating profile nothingness. But then they continue to talk about it what feels like every few minutes for the rest of the book. It was a little much for me.

There are two spicy chapters (23 and 27) and I think they're well written. No mention of a "member" or any other descriptor that ruins the moment. Aside from those two chapters it's very fluffy and cute. No big miscommunication trope either, which is a plus.
