standard corny romance, a perfect book to read on the plane if you will.
the sex scene was boring lowkey so sorry to disappoint anyone.
but i definitely had a fun time reading this and i think i would’ve liked it more if i was super into outdoorsy stuff, because i was so happy for the characters getting to have so much fun! fun and chill characters and just a fun book overall. nothing stuck out to me
