Cute and fluffy. The banter when the two get together is very adorable and honestly, I would read a whole cozy story about their life together; just being cheesy and succeeding in life. [As a side note, did not know there was smut in the book. That was a surprise. I don't like sex scenes, but I didn't feel like I had missed anything by skipping them.]
What I did not like was Jordan convincing Astrid to take credit and then Astrid convincing herself it was her fault for taking the credit??? Like what?
Graphic: Sexual content
Minor: Cancer, Homophobia, Panic attacks/disorders, and Death of parent
All of the content warnings in minor are backstory to the characters "how did we end up here/why we are the way we are". They are not the focus and pretty glossed over (told not showed).
