Romance isn't generally my thing but I read this because I was an early Forever 35 listener. It was ultimately fine. The build up to the inevitable lasted too long for me and the interactions that were being framed as 'electric' always kind of fizzled (for me). It eventually became too repetitive an unfulfilling for me. As a reader I was being told there was chemistry between Franny and Hayes but I didn't feel or believe it. The characters were generally a touch too cutesie for me to feel overly invested in anyone. I also found the names of the trio of friends kind of obnoxious..? That feels like an odd thing to zero in on but here we are. By no means an awful read overall, but also not a "why haven't I been reading books like this before now" kind of thing.
