One of the things I like about this series is that it really shows how a relationship develops over time, with weeks and even months passing in between interactions and events. I think it's realistic for how real relationships might evolve, especially when (like this one) it's friends to lovers, or one person isn't sure about entering into a relationship. In this case, Liv has dated one Chase brother, but now it's a few years later and her friendship with younger brother Marc has taken a turn towards romance. She's sure she wants a long-term relationship, but he's not. He takes some time to think about it and then decides to woo her. (the word "woo" is used A LOT.) It's a charming romance and a slow burn. Maybe a little too slow for me, but nevertheless, a realistic portrayal of the baby steps some take on the road to love.
