Disappointingly, my review for this book disappeared. I have enjoyed other romance novels. This one was poorly written, the protagonist was unlikable, and the plot hook was explained to death every other page. Just barely got myself to finish it.

Disappointingly, my initial review of this book disappeared. It’s such a fun read that took me a few chapters to get into. Once you’re in, there’s nothing that can stop you from loving each and every one of these characters.

I really enjoyed parts of the novel. Some cheesiness, pacing issues, and occasionally awkward parts aside, it was an enjoyable read and for most of the story, a fun one. Something about it just felt underdeveloped/shallow.
