A super sweet easy read. A nice palette cleanser. The cover is in no way similar to.the way the characters are described in the book, the mmc is in his 30's.
I think there were a few spelling issues and words missing which was irritating, maybe it was rushed through.
I do know what I'm getting into with books by this author though and it was what I needed after some heavy books.

I liked meeting the characters and the first half of the book and then all of a sudden it went down hill. It felt forced and the flow of the story changed. I can't really put it into words, it was like the characters became less.
I felt like the pacing changed again near the end, it felt rushed and shallow. There was no depth.

A bummer because after 25% I thought I was going to have to checkout the authors other series.
