This was a cute and cheesy read. The two main characters were very well-written and relatable, and I really enjoyed the slow-burn progression of their relationship. Everything was super low-stakes, which was somewhat nice as it meant the book was nice and relaxing to read, but I did miss having a moment in the story where things go wrong for the protagonists, because any obstacles they encountered were very quickly resolved. Overall, this was a charming book, if a teensy bit dull at times.

I really loved the two main characters in this book, they actually felt so different and unique from other contemporary romance characters…it was really refreshing! The one thing that is bringing the rating down is that Jack and Rebecca never actually had romantic feelings for one another until the 60-70% mark, which is just way too late. There was hardly a third act crisis, and so the majority of the plot was just two characters going about their daily lives. It was just a bit too slow for me, but it was still enjoyable.

Spoilers Ahead: This is a very good slow-burn book. I’m not too much of a fan of slow-burn romances, and this went on a little longer than I think is necessary, but I did enjoy it. There was a lot, possibly too much, into their personal lives, and not enough into their romance, but that’s a personal preference. I’m not a fan of the miscommunication within the story, I think everything could have been sorted out quicker if they’d have just spoken. But it was a very nice romance, and the blossoming relationship between Rebecca and Jack was really well written, and both of their characters were very realistically written. I would have liked to heard more about Jack’s brother, especially after he confronted him about cheating, as I think that was left ad a bit of a loose end, but other than that, a very enjoyable read.
