Generally speaking this was a very cozy read about rediscovering yourself and love after a heartbreak. There is teasing and banter better the LIs but there is no sex whatsoever (not even closed door).
Spoilers abound!!
This was on track for a high 3/5 but that ending was just so sloppy. The entire catfishing plot was a letdown and just felt like padding or a first draft.
Also the fortune teller (at least in the audio) made me a little uncomfortable in her portrayal. I don't think it will bother everyone but it felt really off compared to the rest of the book.

This book goes into my "cute-but-wouldn't-read-another" category. It was a very slow read for me and the jumps between times often caught me off guard. There were moments where I would tab to the next page and have to go back and forth before realizing that we had jumped to another day or another week even. This could have been because of the formatting in the eBook, but I doubt it.
Overall the love story came a bit out of nowhere at the end, and didn't feel fully flushed out for the main character. Considering that I typically finish a romance in a day, and this one took me 4 days, I probably would not recommend it.
