Too many questions were left unanswered. I wished this was in a double POV like the American Roommate Experiment. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading Lina's love story unfolding.

Not at all what I expected. I understood the relationship between Aaron and Catalina would be a strong focus, but I'd not expected the actual wedding to pass by so rapidly. Nor did I expect it to be so ... steamy???? 

I found to plot to be incredibly simple but I enjoyed that it was simple. It was nice to not have to keep track of everything going on because it just flowed so easily. 

I did find it to be very funny, warranting a few actual audible chuckles here and there... but only towards the beginning. Around the midway point the relationship got too intense for the humour, apparently. But that's also fine since I enjoyed the mood change! 

However, a few things that did bother me and reduced it from 5☆ to 4.75☆ was that I was annoyed by Aaron's constant appearing whenever Lina was doing soemthing embarrassing, or talking to a friend about Aaron etc etc. Like how convenient??? Stop turning up. Its annoying.

And the other thing was that the description of Aaron's eyes being "ocean blue" rendered itself totally redundant with the amount of times it was said. Almost eye rollable with the amount of times it was said. Same with any similar synonyms, like .... blue eyes...  deep blue eyes... etc etc etc etc. We get it, his eyes are blue and you're obsessed with them. Oh and also the random like 5 pages of Lina having disordered eating was weird.... suddenly her disorder is cured because Aaron fed her and told her she needs to eat, "I'll have 5 fish tacos please, my time of being silly with food is over". I wish it was that easy

It just worked for me. I can't always know ahead of time with these social media darlings. The one over-the-top
Spoiler"I want to feel you milking me"
line didn't ruin it for me. I did laugh when I got to it, but I've read much worse in erotica.

Exactly the kind of cute romance book I needed. It got maybe a little too cheesy at the end but I was rooting for them so it was a nice, happy ending.
