Well, that was absolutely delightful. It's been a while since I've read any chick lit, and this queer gem (found in Aldi of all places) was a great one to get back. I'll definitely get the rest of the series (I hadn't realised this was the second volume) at some point or another.
Both main characters are likeable and relatable in their struggles, and I loved how the author managed to strike the right balance between creating conflict and making it impossible to root for the relationship. The problems that arose were real, but at no point does they seem to veer into toxic territory.
A nice and comfy read that hits the right beats. Just as I was hoping.
