Book club read. Probably won’t continue. 
Story is obviously cute but the show made vast improvements on it, like embarrassingly so. 
Writing is elementary, which isn’t always awful to me. However, switching POVs randomly from his to her to omniscient without any sort of warning at all is ridiculous.
