This book was just so adorable. This author knew what she was doing make a romance book with a main character, Retta, a bake shop owner and then making the entire story so sweet. Duncan and Retta were really cute together and I loved seeing them develop real feelings while fake dating. I think the first half of this book did a better job in luring me in and building the romance than the second half did. I was hooked by the first chapter of the book but I felt that the story lost my attention at some parts of the second half. The third act breakup felt a little disjointed and abrupt I wish the author built more tension with it instead of it feeling like it came out of nowhere. It felt unnecessary too because it’s not like we spent a lot of time with the characters being broken up. I did love the dates Duncan and Retta went on and how they couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. The family dynamics of both characters was such a great layer added to this book. With the book being so short it was hard to really feel any substance with the romance but it was lighthearted and fluffy which I think was the author’s intention. The true definition of short and sweet!
