There’s something magical and comforting about the way Ashley Poston tells a story. Every book has been a hit for me, full of heart, wit, and just the right touch of whimsy. But this one… while still fun and full of charm, didn’t quite land the way her others have.

It reminded me a little of M. Night Shyamalan’s early career: he made a name for himself with clever twists and strong storytelling, but by the third or fourth movie, that same formula started to feel a bit off. That’s kind of how I felt here. The story had so much potential, and I genuinely enjoyed the nods to classic romance movies and novels, but the ending felt rushed and incomplete, like the final act of the story just got swept under the rug. 

Still, Poston’s voice is always a treat, and even if this one wasn’t my favorite, it was an entertaining ride.
