This was cute, it was fun. It feels more like something you’d read just for the vibes of the season not really for any plot.
I do feel like if I’d full on read it physically I might have liked it a bit more. It took a bit for me to get into and idk if I missed something in that spot but the romance felt kind of insta-lusty to me, like we’d just met and then a few meetings later we are full on making out. And they both were trying not to come on too strong to the other despite constantly obsessing over them. But I liked the setting and the nosey town and the characters were fun, these two just might not have been the ones for me.
And for it saying it’s a spicy small town book the spice didn’t really happen till the end of the book and then it just stayed.
