Not sure if this is another book hangover from how much I loved [b:Take a Hint, Dani Brown 49976087 Take a Hint, Dani Brown (The Brown Sisters, #2) Talia Hibbert https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1572990974l/49976087.SY75.jpg 72583521], but this was ... fine? I certainly didn't hate it, but it didn't really ever click with me, which is a shame, considering the librarian and academia angles. The whole conflict with Victoria's department head didn't really go anywhere and seemed to wrap itself up with a little bit of a deus ex machina at the end. I also didn't really care for how all the growth/change seemed to be on Victoria's side - while I do like a cinnamon roll of a hero, things just seem more evenly matched when both characters need to work on themselves to be a good match for each other. This certainly wasn't unpleasant at all, but I had been looking forward to reading it and it just didn't quite meet my expectations. (Also, maybe this is a little nitpicky, but the book could definitely have used another copy-edit, there were enough typos and grammar errors that it got distracting by the end.) (2020 summer romance bingo: apple orchard. Would maybe work for meddling matchmakers, but I think that's all.)
