5.0
This is really a 4.5 but I'm just gonna give it the 5 because it was so cute.
It's rare, to me, to be so captivated by someone so late in a book. Like, even if it's a fantasy series, there's usually someone or something to draw my attention in much earlier. I powered through with this, convinced that I was basically watching a Hallmark movie. Well, I guess it turns out that I was.
I found the author's note explanation to be exactly what I needed to understand why I wasn't so captivated: my brain is simply not used to understanding what happens to "the ex". Where do they go? What do they do next? (Note: as far as I know, Enchanted is the only movie where a 1:1 swap occurs perfectly. I'm sure I'm missing something.)
Laden with romcom references and names inspired by romcoms then bundled up in a melodramatic Hallmark-inspired love story, I was pleasantly surprised. Consider me a fan.
