Not for me. There is no personableness. No relationship depth. Characters are flat. 
The male narrator is tough to listen to.

I’d like better interpersonal relationships. Didn’t get fully flushed out characters which I missed. The sex was a little awkward.

Hated the unhealthy relationship and how it felt like half the storyline was constructed just to allow the main character to have sex rather than moving the story forward.

lighthearted

I guessed the end pretty quickly. The rest was boring because it was just waiting for the characters to put together obvious information.
Not enough satisfaction.
Was a cozy read and definitely craved cookies the entire time.
