This was cute, and also kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation to see how the main two characters would end up together. There was some cringy dialogue, but ultimately this was a heartwarming story of how sometimes you meet your person and you can't fight that. The divorce lawyer career path was an interesting touch and I think it added some depth; so did the sometimes childish way that our FMC would react to things.

I was a little surprised there wasn't any therapy featured in the book, as I think it would've helped the FMC the first time she bolted.

Third act was interesting — but I do like that the obvious solution wasn't necessarily what the author went with. Overall pretty charming book, but I don't think it will stay with me. 

Can we talk about the spice, though? Because

it was crazy to me that the hottest scene of the whole book was the video/sexting scene!!! I got to that point and was like, ok yes let's do this. And then every other sex scene was essentially fade to black?! That made no sense. I almost didn't believe the spark and heat between them until they sent videos to each other.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC of this book!
