I'm being generous with my rating because this book was free on a stuff your kindle day.

I thought this was a cute and mature romance read. I enjoyed the relationships and it felt real and believable. However, it was lacking some of the romance aspects, I thought the connection between our two MCs could have been stronger. Also a little bit of spice would have helped!

This starts off at a very slow pace, but its gripping prose immediately drew me into Casey's world. King creates this relatable story that beautifully captures the mundane realities of navigating life in your thirties.
