For me the best part of this book was Center's humor. I am a huge fan of her broken fourth wall writing style, she is able to do it in a way that is engaging and entertaining. There were multiple times I laughed out loud, especially during the cow "attack".
There were two things I didn't like about the book. The first being how unrealistic Hannah's fears were given how highly trained she was supposed to be. It added humor but pulled me out of the story. The second being how much the tone changed at the ending. I love a summary of where characters end up at the end of a rom-com movie, but it didn't feel like the right choice here.
I was impressed by Center's ability to write a lighthearted, sweet, romance with characters handling the messiness of real life. Overall a fun read and would recommend especially to those who like Center's writing style!

That said, the side-characters felt pretty two-dimensional, most of whom were just stereotypes. And it was difficult to believe the narrator was as good a bodyguard as we're meant to believe because she runs away from several harmless things, e.g. attractive people and harmless albeit large animals.
