I received this as an ARC on NetGalley.  This was a fun read, very Ted Lasso inspired.  Both Hazel and Beck were likeable and Beck was especially loveable.  It was also fun to see Alfie and Mabel a few times.  I think the only thing that I didn't like about this book is that at times Hazel's insistence about what Beck must want was annoying.  It was like she kept judging him or painting him as a certain type of person rather than getting to know him.  And while I know it's her way of projecting her insecurities, it was still tiresome to read at times.  Also this book isn't dual POV, it's only Hazel's POV so that also might be why it was easier to get annoyed with her rather than Beck, because it's her train of thought.
