It's about the literary equivalent of a romantic Hallmark movie at Christmas: trite, predictable, and with deeply stereotypical characters with all the depth of a cardboard cutout, but all in good fun.

Honestly without all the fae lore I do not think I could have made it through a book where the two main characters are so incredibly boring. The fae stuff was fun though.
