Elsie and MMC, Jack, have a major height difference which is such a common trope I’m beyond tired of it. She needs to crane her neck to look up at him. She needs to stand on her tippy toes and pull his face towards her to kiss. His pen!s pokes her in the stomach. She’s a small-average height woman and he’s a giant. We get it.
Sorry. This storyline and the characters just really weren’t for me.

Musically, I should hire a tuba to follow me around.
Elsie is so effortlessly hilarious, I love her. Also loved the Olive and Adam's cameo. Don't tell them that possibly I love this book more than I did theirs oops-

Once again, her books follow the standard romantic trope, but that is not what most of the book is about. It's what makes her romance books stand out.
