Pretty good but not perfect, at least for my personal taste. I liked that Lizzie was working class, because I don't see that a lot in romance, but it almost felt like this was a bildungsroman with some romance thrown in instead of a Romance Novel (™️). I'd read more Dugan, though! #contemporaryromance
