NetGalley ARC Review:

A cute rom-com with well-developed characterisation and a less developed setting. The world feels a little small, a little contained - but for anyone looking for an easily readable, quick rom-com, this works well; there’s enough crackle to make it genuinely entertaining, if forgettable.
