I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute, heartwarming, diverse romance with just enough You Got Mail allusions to keep things sweet and not annoyingly obtuse. I appreciate how both Nick and Lily have family dynamics and trauma to work through and that they do so in a healthy way. The chemistry and romantic pacing felt a little off, but I still enjoyed seeing their relationship develop (even if I wanted to throttle Nick for breaking things off prematurely...).
It's more than 400 pages, but it feels like a quick read if you're looking for a solid contemporary romance.
