This was much better than I thought it would be. It appealed to my millennial soul, and I appreciated the references. It was a fun, quick read, that was easy to get through. If you need a not-too-sweet but still romantic palate cleanser, this is a good book to break up the mysteries, thrillers, and fantasy books!

Laugh out loud funny at parts, but the ending dragged a little for me.

Loved it!!! Super cute read, funny banter between characters and did not miss with the spice! This book gave me crazy rich Asian vibes but with a marriage of convenience setup. Loved Anna’s personality and would definitely be there to see this on a movie screen!
