I won’t deny that I enjoyed it but it was not what I’d expected. The love hypothesis is marketed as a slow burn, and in my opinion it is definitely not one of them. Characters (at least one of them) already have pre-existing attachment, there’s no rivalry, they know each other and quite quickly discover their feelings (without much denial beforehand). I might just be spoiled by those thiccc books I’m currently reading *cough* Brandon Sanderson *cough* so I know what a real slow burn actually is 😅 (no hate) Nevertheless, perfect for some light reading)
