This was a great romance, with plenty of tropes in place, and lovable characters who are all about the romance. One of the characters is secretly a romance writer, so there are some look-behind-the-curtain moments of seeing the life of a (nervous, awkward, not-ready-to-quit-her-day-job) writer, and other nods to romance movies (You've Got Mail, in particular).
It sometimes got a little confusing to follow our omniscient narrator through different perspective changes that happened rapid fire. This didn't feel like a book that would work for each character to have their own first person narration, but it did sometimes get a little clunky to navigate the shifts between who was feeling what and why. That's my reason for subtracting a star, but the book was overall a lot of fun and recommended for queer romance fans!

this is exactly like 'you've got mail' which is one of my favorite movies, it was absolute madness and i ate it up!

the romance was enjoyable and felt authentic but i cannot get over the gentrification. like i feel like i was waiting for the moment when there would be a come to jesus scene where Jane realizes the harm her family’s company has on the community but it never happened. some of the dialogue felt stiff too but other than that it was a nice light read
