I do love an awkward MMC and a bubbly FMC and this was a perfectly fine book, though it had some more challenging undertones than a lot of the rom coms on the market. Readers need to be aware that there is off-page spouse death & on page grief.
I found myself flipping between feeling that the grief was handled too lightly at times and too heavily at others. There is no “right” amount of time to “get over” grief. I also felt like Callum didn’t get to have his own grief over his grandfather’s death because the focus was so trained on Lark’s feelings and the threat of losing his business. There was more to be explored there.
