“Life would be a lot better if we all spent a little more time staring at the stars.”

"...what a feeling it must be, being loved by someone else exactly as you are, quirks and warts and all."

I found this romance to be quite adorable. I loved that the development of the main characters was front and center. I instantly loved Elle but struggled to like Darcy right away. By the end, though, I felt like I connected the most with Darcy. It had some great tropes! Enemies to lovers and fake dating - so fun! It's also a Pride & Prejudice retelling. I hadn't realized that as I was reading but thinking back on it, it's quite obvious. I mean, the main characters are literally named Elizabeth and Darcy! I can't believe I missed that! The steam was also very good. Definitely 18+. 

My major critique was that it may have been just a touch too long. It seemed to drag near the end. The mom characters fell a bit flat for me, as well. But I will still be picking up the other novels in this series.
