I was struggling with the FMC sorting out the time difference between Amsterdam and her family in LA, thinking the author had it totally wrong until I remembered that the US springs ahead a bit earlier than UK/EU and this book clearly starts before the start of DST. (So, like a week ago)

2nd chance romance and marriage of convenience and now only one bed?? Checking off the tropes left and right (but in a good way)

Fantastic narrator; quirky and fun and seems to hit the narrative beats really well. Only complaint is sometimes it feels like she slips into a pattern of tones for both of the characters where the inflections feel repetitive in the middle of a long internal thought process but its infrequent so I can mostly ignore it (also this may have made zero sense to someone reading it)
