This is going to be one of my favorite romcom read this year!! 
It’s funny, emotional and sweet, what more could you ask for ? 
 
The writing style is easy to read and it flows smoothly as well. 
I love all the pickup lines (even the cheeky ones) throughout the story especially the ones when a new chapter began! 
 
I fell in love with the characters as well, they are loveable, well developed and feels very relatable with all their flaws. 
There’s Mae - our FMC, I adore her character as an independent and strong woman with her sarcastic remarks and stubbornness. Despite all of that, she genuinely cares for her family and always kind to other people. 
I also like seeing her strong friendship with Ali and Ali’s shenanigans always makes  me laugh. 
 
Chris is the perfect swoony love interest! I love his infectious smile and pickup lines which seems to rise Mae’s grumpiness sometimes. 
He’s the perfect match for her and I’m rooting for them all the way through! 
 
I love all the aspects here, there are sweet and enchanting moments but also the emotional and heart-breaking ones. 
One of my most favorite part is discovering the meaning of ‘it suits you’ from this book because it hits me right in the feels! 
 
Overall, this is a wholesome romance with great humor, such a fantastic read! 
I feel satisfied with how everything got wrapped up in the end, I would highly recommend people (especially romcom lovers) to pick this one up ASAP! 
I’m really looking forward to read more books from this author in the future!
