I am not much for romance novels, so guess I should've paid more attention to the summary and the author when this was recommended for the OUABC 2024 reading challenge prompt, "a book that takes place in autumn."  Having finished it, I am seriously considering using it for the "a book that made you laugh out loud" instead.

So many eye roll moments.  
So many WTF did she / he just say / do moments.
So many I'm sorry, you're HOW old moments.
So many sure...riiiiiight moments.

It was still a cute-ish story with an interestingly unbelievable plot line, and, as I admitted, laugh out loud funny at times, although I don't think that was the author's intent.  It was enjoyable enough in a totally-not-what-I-would've-chosen-to-read kind of way.
