A very likeable couple of leads surrounded 70% by people who are trying to do the best they can, and 30% people who stressed me out with how much I loathed them, lol. I kind of wish the ending for those 30% were meaner because I'm vindictive and I wanted a pay-off for how mad I got at them!!! BUT OTHER THAN THAT. I thought the obstacles very realistic, but that the chemistry was so lovely & clear that it made the hard work to bridge the divide worth it. And that's better than I can say for a lot of popular romances I've read in the last couple of years, so kudos.
