I enjoyed this one, I bought into both the characters from the start and I love the grump to sunshine trope so I was happy to see how the story progressed.

This book went a lot deeper than I expected from the fun cartoon cover. It tackled a lot of issues and I was so invested in the couple by the end that I was a little emotional.

My only complaint is that it felt a little long, I mean I love a slow burn but this was sllooooooooow.

Oh and the steam was perfection!!!
