Not my favorite from the trilogy but it wrapped up the story nicely.

This book is just... Ugh. The FMC always talking about bad dates but really just about model trains was so off putting. Her favorite food is soup?
When the two main characters decided to start sleeping together it just felt like out of nowhere? Why would either of these doctors think it was a good idea.
This couple couldn't keep me reading through terrible tropes. They weren't cute/believable enough.

Jude, for all the talk about being from Farie and knowing their tricks you really don't.

WTF how was this made into a TV show?! I was having some fun and laughing even though it wasn't really my usual genre and then that scene? That was messed up and definitely dealt with wrong.
