Light spoilers ahead
For what this book was, it did fabulous in. This had me smiling and laughing all the way through. It was hilarious to see Frederick struggle with modern concepts and watch Buffy with Cassie.
In alignment with other reviews, the ending seemed almost rushed. The hurdle that came up definitely fit in what most cheesy rom coms would conjure up. However, it wasn't necessarily the use of Tik Tok as a solution to the problem that was "meh", but the way it was executed. This book could have been a bit longer and more detail into solving the hurdle and I think this would draw in and satisfy more readers.
With that being said, I loved the characters and the way they navigated modern Chicago. I am from the suburbs, so that also helped me envision the characters doing their thing in the places they mentioned.
I enjoyed the characters so much that I do want to read the sequel. If she chooses to expand and write more about Frederick and Cassie in the future, I would be interested. There is so much potential for a sweet, funny, and romantic world to be created that one day; I can predict this first book will be considered campy and fun.
