'Growing up the lone Asian in a community of WASPs, Annie has always felt out of place. Her solution? Start a family of her own. Not easy when every man she’s dated, including her ex-fiancé, finds “his person” right after breaking up with Annie. Even worse than canceling the wedding eight weeks beforehand? Learning the “other woman” plans to walk down the aisle wearing her wedding gown. New plan—find a fresh, man-free start. Too bad her exit strategy unexpectedly lands her working at a hospital in Rome, Rhode Island, rather than Rome, Italy, and sharing a cabin with a big, brooding, and annoyingly hot male roommate.'

This premise (and the description of our love interest in the following paragraph) had me really excited for a down to earth, meet-awkward type of romance but unfortunately, the execution just didn't work for me. Emmitt was not the LI I hoped for and the chemistry between the two MCs didn't feel as organic as I'd hoped. It was overall, pretty okay but not my thing.
