I’m going to preface this by saying that I’ve never read a rom-com before.

There were definitely some parts of this book that I really enjoyed but overall I didn’t like it as much as I probably could. I really loved Frederick and Cassie for the most part and while the timeline seemed a little short (obviously you can only fit so much into one book) they had very good chemistry. I’m not sure if this is something that is popular in rom-coms but the pop culture references were so annoying to me after a certain point and a big reason that I’ve rated this book how I have. The resolution to the “big” conflict near the end of the book irritated me so bad because it was absolutely ridiculous and not in a comedic way. Overall I enjoyed the characters enough that I feel pretty confident giving this a 3 star rating.
