Fabio vs. the Friend Zone

Confession up front: I've been rooting for Fabio since meeting him in “Dear Adam”, so I was already a bit biased going into his and Grace's story. :)

I have a soft spot for geeky heroes, anyway, and best-friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes. Fabio makes a great geeky hero, and Grace is a wonderful match for him.
The supporting cast is a lot of fun, too, and that goes for Fabio's Grandma and Grandpa as well as for the Chu family (Cookie! <3) and Grace's friends Nora and London.

I really liked the contrast between Fabio's “This is it, Grace is the one for me” and Grace still figuring out what she actually wants, and I was very happy with how the story played out.
On the way to the happy end, I smiled a lot, snort-laughed some, and once I wished there would have been someone giving me their Hello Kitty tissues...

Bonus points for the spa shenanigans!
