A sweet, short story about two college students working at a community medical centre. Heather, who is studying to be a registered nurse works as a receptionist and Jake, an intern works on the admin side.
Jake has been irritating Heather for months by constantly pranking her at the office. But he steps in to help her as her plus one to her cousin's wedding. Things change as Heather's perception of Jake changes and she realises what a kind person he is.
This is a very quick, charming, clean read.

A short but oh so sweet story about expanding your world to be able to enjoy the journey of life. Perfect for a time you want to read an uplifting story but hardly have any time. A wonderful message disguised by sweet romantic and humor.

Cute but the story is really short so I think everything moved way too fast. Maybe I am not fan of short novel. However I understand the moral which is enjoy the journey of life and I think that’s kinda cute

At first, MMC is a jerk stealing her stuff to be annoying. Gradually you see him as a goof, stealing her stuff to get her attention. Sounds juvenile, but the reader finally realizes that he is just dang cute.

Sweet story. Though I think, generally, practical jokers can be really annoying!
