I didn't really feel the spark between Kamila and Rohan and had no real desire to see them together. Kamila was also a bit unlikable at times, but I don't think that was problematic (nor do I think FL should be likable all the time, no one is IRL).
Normally I am all about the side characters but I thought this one got a bit muddied by having too many. I think a smaller focus would have been stronger.
I did enjoy the prose of the book. The dialogue could have used a little tweaking to feel a bit more natural, but the words had a flow to them.
Overall, I really just wanted something _more_ from this book and I don't know what that is exactly. It just lacked a certain sparkle.

I love when dogs are part of the main focus of a book and the puppy prom and Potato were amazing storylines. I also really enjoyed reading about the side characters in this one - Kamila's dad was cute and her friends were fun. I think there could've been a little more character development, but they all helped move the story along.
The second half's character arcs made me enjoy the book and I'm definitely glad I stuck around. I'm rating this one 3 stars as the book got off to a rough start. I didn't connect with Kamila and didn't see her and Rohan, though I think that was in part because the retelling of Emma was a bit forced. I needed a bit more room to breathe for the characters. Towards the back half of the book, I ended up loving them together and their love confession was drool worthy.
Thank you Grand Central Pub for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!
