This book was cute. It’s 3rd act break up was better conducted than some, but it’s a trope I’m starting to tire of. 

All that to say, it was a sweet romance and I found it really easy to read.

For me, there was a lot left unanswered. I appreciated that the book kept moving, but sometimes it felt like the clues that were left were misplaced and thought about at the last second. 

It was an engaging read, but I feel like I need another chapter or two to put some more things together.
