I feel very indifferent about this book. I didn’t love it, but I don’t feel like reading it was a total waste of my time. 

I was really excited for this take on a forced proximity romance, but there really was very little romance at all. The characters are very cold and I really did not care much about them at all. 

I would’ve liked to see more of a build to the romance part of the story, and I wish some of the non-romantic storylines would have been closed out.

Super cute book! Unexpected plot and lovable characters. I don’t remember where I saw it first, but I’m glad I did.
