Wanted to read the book before watching the show and finally got to it.
I expected a cutesy rom com and it was a bit more boring and nitty gritty for the first half and double the adventure for the second! Both main characters were so much more flawed than expected and real, which was nice. And I've been going through a shift workers theme romance in my books as currently I do shift work so I got that little thrill from this.
It was still a quick read though even with the unexpected darker themes, if anyone avoids themes search for warnings before hand.
