I loved this one! Now it is kind of on the longer side, plus it doesn't help that we're only in the FMC point of view and the book is kind of on the slow side. Usually, that combo doesn't work for me, and I end up DNF'ing the book but for some reason, this one just clicked for me, and I couldn't put it down. It does deal with some pretty heavy themes, especially in the last half of the book. The first part is more of a small town/fake dating meets grump x sunshine because the MMC is such a grump, and they definitely get off on the wrong foot. Then the second half is more damsel in distress/second chance. I really need to read more in this series and by this author!
