If you weren’t a fan of Speed and Love because it felt too rushed and overly dramatic, then this is such a good alternative. It’s more of a slow burn (which we LOVE), and you can already feel that pure, genuine love growing between them. I seriously love it, love it, LOVE IT.

Honestly, I don’t really have anything bad to say. My only tiny complaint is that the male lead should’ve kept the blond hair. It gave such a good contrast with the female lead and added a little bit of that bad-boy vibe that made their dynamic even better.

I also really like the female lead because she doesn’t act childish or annoying. She has that sweet, smart, good-girl vibe while still feeling mature and natural, which makes her very easy to like and root for.

And for anyone worried about the cousin thing, there’s literally no “ick” factor. They’re not actually related, and they only met once when they were kids, so it doesn’t feel weird at all.

I’m honestly so happy I found this because I had SUCH high hopes for Speed and Love and ended up being utterly disappointed. This feels like the better version of that kind of story that I actually wanted: it’s softer, more believable, their conversation flows naturally, and it’s just overall so much better.
