Generally speaking this was a very cozy read about rediscovering yourself and love after a heartbreak. There is teasing and banter better the LIs but there is no sex whatsoever (not even closed door).

Spoilers abound!!
This was on track for a high 3/5 but that ending was just so sloppy. The entire catfishing plot was a letdown and just felt like padding or a first draft.

Also the fortune teller (at least in the audio) made me a little uncomfortable in her portrayal. I don't think it will bother everyone but it felt really off compared to the rest of the book.
