Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
This book is cute to the core! I absolutely adore Merry and Noah, they are perfect for each other! This is what I meant when I want a good romcom. It was quirky, funny plus the slow burn slash awesome chemistry complement the plot. Writing, marvellous. Pacing, fast. No need to pause to read this, I finished in one sitting mind you.
Merry is my kindred-spirit. She's what I'm looking for in a romcom main character. She's hopeful yet grounded. She's the definition of natural quirky, she has funny bones in her and I love it. She isn't like the typical female protagonists where when there is a misunderstanding she would bawled over the guy without confrontation, or blindly putting the blame of the other party, but she listened to Noah. She gave him her trust, she's acting very wise and mature for a romcom female main character. Just love her personality. I could relate to her a lot, she's kinda like me in certain way of thinking. I truly get her and why she acted and thought like she did, because at some point I had similar experiences like Merry, and I bonded with her for that.
Noah is a dreamboat. He's mysterious and romantic but you need to look closer to notice that. I actually like men like him. He's the type that shows love through action rather than words. And their banter? Urgh, I love it.
There isn't anything lacking in terns of the writing, plot and characters. Maybe there's a little cliché at some point but I love it! Idk what to say anymore. Their slow-burn is everything. The one bed trope but make it funnier yet putting them closer and closer, arghhhh I adore them so much! This book is gonna be at the top lists among the books I love this year.
