Like the majority of readers of this series, I absolutely loved the Netflix series and was looking forward to reading more detail in the books.

I enjoy the way, the author has captured the romance and charm between Simon and Daphne. The book is very fast paced in my opinion and therefore made an easy read with the romance not feeling too overdrawn out. 

That being said, I felt like there were more layers to the story demonstrated in the Netflix series than this initial book - I assume as the book entirely pivots on the 2 MCs. 

Given the nature of the book, we do get more the thoughts of Simon and his prospective growing up which I liked by I do  wish the book delved into more detail on the relationship between Nigel and Daphne for the other drama, as it was very much brushed over at the start of the book.

Overall a lovely romance but I think in this instance the Netflix season was stronger.
