i've been drenching myself in romantic korean dramas recently - the kind that burn so slowly and gently but constantly. this has the same vibes, and the payoff is so good. while the pacing might be slow for some, it's fast enough for me where rita is grappling with her personal life and side hustle, while still getting a chance to connect and bond with luke, one milky cup of earl grey at a time.

maybe not a completely out of the box romance (albeit, i don't know if anyone goes into a romance novel wanting some major plot twist) and i do have notes about the whole he's a good billionaire though vibe, but still very sweet and cozy.
