I really wanted to like this as I normally really enjoy Beth O'Leary books. This one for me ended up being 'alright'. The two main reasons for this were that for chunks of the book I just found the two main characters irritating. This whole book wouldn't be a thing if they'd have just spoken to each other like grown adults. Secondly, I found the narration of Lucas dull and flat. 

There were also parts that had the expected O'Leary cuteness. This was mainly the setting and the rest of the characters.
