Ok, the first few chapters are rough. Jodie and Cal's teammates suck and Jane's plan is frankly bananas. Not to mention just plain creepy and highly unethical. Her first 2 encounters with Cal are sooo cringy and I judged him for sleeping with her, too!
But holy crap...once they get to North Carolina...this becomes the bonkers rom com OF MY DREAMS. The side characters are great, and the secondary romance plot brings depth to the main romance. Cal and Jane are both unlikeable (She tricked him into fathering her child! He refuses to date anyone other than super sweet girls in their early 20s because he's afraid of aging!) but they're such a perfect match. Their pranks, their fights, all of it.
I'm begging you...read at least through meeting Cal's grandma. Ideally you'll read until they discover each other's big secrets and have a knock-down, drag-out fight in his grandma's lawn, but I don't want to push it.
