A cute, steamy romance. Some of the situations the characters found themselves in were ridiculous, but to me that added to the charm. The premise was very fun and I liked watching the characters inch closer.
I enjoyed the first 60-70% more than the rest (Idk if this is just a thing for me with emotional genres? I've encountered this with horror, too) as you're in the thick of it, cuteness-wise. I wasn't as sold on the turn the characters took in their relationship at the 70%ish mark, and some of the end didn't land as well, but overall I had fun.
