I probably should have rated this story a little lower, but I ended up enjoying it so much that I was able to overlook its biggest flaw: it is simply too short. The ending arrives very abruptly, and the story quickly jumps into an epilogue that feels a bit out of sync with the pacing of the romance. The relationship barely begins to develop before the story wraps up, and then suddenly we are at a marriage. I can understand why this might frustrate some readers. Personally, I would have loved to see this expanded into a full-length novel so the romance could unfold more naturally.

That said, I had such a fun time reading it. I really liked the main couple, and their meet-cute was absolutely hilarious. The tone and humor reminded me a bit of Bridget Jones’s Diary, and several moments had me laughing out loud and grinning from beginning to end. Even though it is a short story, I still found myself fully invested in the characters and their budding relationship.

If you are looking for a quick, feel-good romance you can finish in one sitting, this is a great option. It is light, charming, and easy to read. There is also no language and no spice, which many readers will appreciate.

Overall, this was a sweet and entertaining story that left me wishing there had been more of it. I am definitely looking forward to continuing with the rest of this short story collection. Highly recommend if you want a fast, cozy little romance.
