I went into this not knowing anything other than that people liked it and that it is written by Christina Lauren. My problem with the book is that it felt too unrealistic, and this may be a funny thing to say when the series is called "The Improbable Meet-Cute" but let me explain.

The first 50% of the book is written in emails formula which was a breeze to go through. In fact, the whole book took me 40 mins to read. The story follows T and C when C sends an email by mistake to T and then it stars an annual thing between them to exchange emails on Valentine's Day each year. For us reader, this feels cute to read those exchanges between 2014 to 2024 and in one of those emails T confesses she has a crush on C which felt very weird to me given that they have talked less than 10 times in a decade and never met before.

The rest of the story is more believable with the usual cliched hot smart tall, nice guy and the shy girl which was tall in the case and maybe this was the plot twist instead of the petite girl we always have in those books.

So, I thought it was cute, but I wanted more as I am used to from these authors.
