I'm struggling with this review. The book was adorable, but it felt more like a self-discovery book and not a romance book. It felt very romance light for me. It also read log a blog, not a book? I adored all of the side characters and thought they all had a lot of depth but I was missing the depth from John, the MMC. I wish we'd have had a chapter or two from his POV, just to get inside his head a little bit.
All that said, I couldn't put the book down. I started it after work and finished it before going to bed, so it has a definite unputdownable quality. I just wanted more swoon worthy romance.
I received an E-ARC from Harper Collins and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
