This book is SO CUTE!! I absolutely adored watching Lizzie grow and become more confident. Rake was an absolute gem as well with his patience and love for Lizzie. They both felt so alive and real. I loved them.
The miscommunication and third act breakup tropes are always a bitch, though. This book being yet another victim. I would have loved Lizzie and Rake's character development to show them working through a miscommunication.
I know this is technically part of a series, but I didn't like any of Lizzie's friends enough to read the other books. This works perfectly as a stand-alone and I'm happy with beginning and ending the story here.
