I needed a little light fun after my last dense read and this was definitely that. I finished it in a day. The banter of the main characters (enemies-to-lovers 😏) was hilarious and snappy and I loved every second of it, which was most of the book. The ending was absolutely adorable and had me kicking my feet. Fun light read tbh.
I will say two things: this book is a very tame, fade-to-black sort of romance. I didn't think less of it for that - I just wouldn't go in expecting something different. AND #2, the main conflict of the story ends up going down with a ton of pretending-bad-things-aren't-happening-for-the-sake-of-peace-lowkey-gaslighting from multiple sources, including the male mc. He isn't the one who actually does The Bad Thing and he grovels for his part in it so I got over it, but it's something to note.
