Review: Dense but cute read

I really liked this story. It's a quick read that was very cute while a bit intense. I didn't necessarily like the main character, Jack, for most of the book because I found him too shallow and too focused on what everyone thought of him. I loved the second MC, Noah, though. He's a bit mousy and shy but he gets all excited and chatty about certain things which I found really cute.The plot deals with Jack being attracted to Noah then learning Noah has a famous sister, Hayley, and focusing more on her but then realizing there's no spark between Hayley and him. While it's not a bad plot it frustrated me because a majority of the story is with her as the highlight even when she's not actually there. I really liked the story but there weren't many scenes to show the relationship Jack and Noah develop and ultimately have as a couple. Although there were good scenes that had them interacting as friends/coworkers. I'd have liked to see more of Jack and Noah in a relationship, though. Also the book is very fast paced so there aren't many details about anything which made the story seem a bit dense.In the end, this was quite a good book. I was frustrated with Jack's shallowness in the face of Noah's attraction to him but this short story actually made me feel what I imagined Noah felt and that was a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommended!
