I enjoy the single mom, writer's life perspective and the self-referential meta-Hallmark-movie-ness of it all but I was expecting a little more depth to that aspect. Something a little more subversive. There are a couple of tropes here I don't enjoy and pacing that didn't quite work for me. An enjoyable, fast, meta-Hallmark-movie read with a few amusing and relatable lines and scenes.
