Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn't affected the contents of my review.
This was a cute, fun time. I love Alicia Thompson's characters and her dialogue. I liked how detailed this got in a way that made it feel like it was really happening. I didn't love the main conflict, which was that the MC becomes embroiled in A Situation where she is one person to her love interest online and another in person. (This involves her drunk heckling said man while he plays professional baseball, and she makes him cry!)
Unfortunately, this did suffer a bit from my reading it side by side The Rom-Commers, which I could not put down, whereas I found this one easier to put down. The stakes just seemed much lower here emotionally (I don't mind lack of plot stakes but the emotional ones still need to be there).
I will very much continue to read this author's books! In fact, reading her second one starting tomorrow.
[3.5 stars, rounded up]

"Is Daphne reading Chlorine? Quick, someone with the American hardcover, is it white under the dust jacket with watercolor art printed on the naked hardcover? Google has failed me."

"Was a mistake to be reading two rom-coms at the same time. One is definitely better than the other. But both are good! But yeah, I'm into one way more. And it's not this one."
