Fun romance but I was stressed about them getting found out the whole time!

This was a bit of a slow burn for me. It took about 100 pages for the characters to turn from somewhat annoying stereotypes into characters that stood on their own. Once they did, though, they were quite endearing and I, frankly, was relieved that the third act crash wasn’t as bad as it could have been because the main two are just so stinking cute. Bonus points for digging into some of the difficulties of parenting.

Deliciously open door: Wilsner doesn’t hold back on the spicy elements. 

Overall, it landed on a bridge between Ashley Herring Blake’s Bright Falls series and Susannah Nix’s STEM series (not quite rapid-fire geek/charmingly awkward to venture into Ali Hazelwood territory) as a solidly charming read.
