Perfectly cute, perfectly fine closed door romance. Exactly the right amount of “spice” for me (ie mostly none and 99% closed door). But the pining and angst and attraction were still super clear even without explicit scenes. Both the main characters annoyed me but they do slowly grow on you. Also takes place at Christmas time but is not a holiday romance so a good option if you want a kinda Christmas romance
