The writing on this book is the same from what I remembered from past reads and drew me in and I loved it. It was modern and witty, fun and a bit sassy thanks the main female MC, April. April feels a bit familiar, can't place her exactly or what about her feels familiar, but she's smart, opinionated, sassy, witty, and writes fanfiction. I mention the fanfiction because it plays a pretty large part within the book because apparently the male MC too writes fanfiction for the very same fandom... But he's also the leading man for it.
Overall I liked the book and found it to be an easy read but being a fan of fanfiction, this was weird for me to see in a published book. Some chapters were set up to open to look like an AO3 fic, chapter title and tags and all, so that was just so weirdly off-putting for me as a reader. Just as weird as thinking that any actor is writing fanfics about the show their starring in to write fix it fics so personally that always took me away from the story and it's pacing and became a bit hard to get back into the actual story.
It's nice to have romance books featuring older main characters and supporting cast. Especially now that I get older, so I do appreciate that Dade tends to have books with MCs in their 30's and older.
