I love how the romantic relationship in this story was built slowly over time and I truly liked both main characters. I really appreciated that they were both masters of their professions (being exceptionally good at something is hot!) and I liked the ways that they supported and cared for each other. They weren’t perfect people, though, which gave them more depth and interest. I also really liked the plot and some of the twists and surprises it gave.
This is a lighter romance book, in general, although it does have a few heavier moments and topics. There was no spice. The romantic tension is slightly subdued, but I did really find myself rooting for Hannah and Jack to get together because they both felt like quality humans. And once they do start to explore their romantic relationship, it’s obvious they had each felt drawn to each other long before either one made a move. In that sense, it was a sweet friends-to-lovers storyline. Really, it felt like a perfect Sandra Bullock movie from back in the day (which I ATE UP because that era of rom coms remains peak to me.)

There are many aspects of this book that I adore, but one really sticks out: the protagonist. The main character is an incredibly intelligent woman who recognizes her own unhealthy and petty patterns, but realistically (and often hilariously) chooses to go against her better judgement anyway. The scenes she finds herself in are magnificently tied to the overarching themes. And in the end, she learns some invaluable lessons about love and life that rounds out her thoughtful character arc. Plus, her POV highlights all the reasons why I love first person, single perspective - the comedic internal monologue amongst external chaos that becomes like a familiar favorite joke throughout the story.
I could go on and on about why I loved this book, but a review of it cannot compare to the unforgettable experience of actually reading it. So, I’ll just leave you with one final thought: READ THIS BOOK!
