Some of the dialogue was a little juvenile at times and I've never been a fan of nicknames but that's another personal taste.
The characters were super loveable though and I was rooting for them the entire time! Rating purely on enjoyment, I stayed up reading and finished this book in 24 hours! Very enjoyable, lighthearted and fun.

some of the characters felt like cheap props (thérèse especially) which was really ironic in a book that preaches about diversity and inclusion multiple times; characters that are pretty much caricatures are one of my biggest pet peeves in writing. i could go on forever but to keep it simple it feels like a lot of characters written for representation (often the best friend/other supporting character) are super shallow and purely there to tick off a box - i guess it's not 'that deep' because the stereotypes were based on her being french but the way she's stereotyped reminds me of the way minorities in general are written as shallow overexaggerated caricatures everywhere i look. as well as being annoying it's also just very lazy and i'm tired of it.

My eyebrows pinched together. She didn’t need to change a thing. She was adorable, with her pretty eyes and sweet little mouth. Even her glasses were cute in that dorky-girl way. The collar of her sweater was pulled to the side and a pale pink bra strap peeked out, and my gaze raked down her form. At Emmett’s wedding, I was going to ask her to dance but every time I tried, she had disappeared. A pang of regret hit me in the chest. I should have tried harder to ask her to dance at the wedding. Her wanting to change bummed me out.

This book makes me believe that you CAN show characters falling in love instead of just telling us they love each other. That is one of my BIGGEST complaints with romance books, the author will write it in a way where the characters “love each other” but not show us how they got there. Over a month or so of existing near each other where we only see them interacting a few times makes it hard to believe. but this book to me at least seems to take a span of like 2-3 months and yes we don’t see the whole time but it goes from around June /July to September at least I’m pretty sure but i might be wrong
Books like, icebreaker, a million kisses in your lifetime, the flatshare(a better love is blind tbh), all rhodes lead here show the love growing between two characters well.
this has just turned into a rant about authors not showing how the character fall in love well which don’t get me wrong i do enjoy books that have that “problem” it’s just less believable.
okay anyway enjoyed this book idk if i enjoyed it more then That Kind of Guy but i will be reading in your dreams holden rhodes next i think so.
