Had a lot of potential but the world building was very very loose and it was hard to get engrossed in the story when I really was only given enough of a framework for the how’s and why’s and…the why’s still don’t make a lot of sense. The title is entirely misleading, as the main characters are set up as “rivals” for about .25 seconds through a work competition and quickly move into becoming fond of each other. It’s a play on words that also refers to another set of rivals in the book…however, that relationship is loosely covered and not a real focus (in this book). The book had vibes and potential but very weak and empty world building, with a lacking plot, and a thin somewhat forced romance.
