Klune is best to read in a slump. These simple romances with dynamic character and character relationships are such an easy and fun read. Extremely entertaining.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one. The start is immediately captivating but it slows considerably for a while before it picks back up again. Then it really runs.

I love the main characters. Yes, even the manager. Some side characters were very one dimensional, which is fine I suppose. But a lot of them seemed to serve the same purpose. Having a raging one for Hugo. Fr

The ending,

look I’m all for the romance and the happy ending. I still don’t think Wallace should’ve been brought back to life. Unless there is a sequel in the works, then ok fine. But seriously the heartbreak of it all would’ve been so good. However, I was here for something feel good and it delivered so can’t fault it for that.

The writing is simple and easy. It does make me cringe sometimes,  but like I’m a good way. Like I’m a teen again reading fic again. A bit repetitive and on the nose. However, again it’s exactly what makes it an easy read and doesn’t feel demeaning to the reader.

A cute and simple read littered with depressing ideas.

Enjoyable at large but with questionable parts. 
While overall likeable, most characters are static, lacking any development. Even Wallace's 'growth' seems predictable and cliché, drafted in rough strokes.
Women are solely defined by their sexual attraction to men, or by motherhood. Several female characters act as comedy only, their personality, work or worries (or all of it) ridiculed.
