it did drag quite a bit the first 200 or so pages for me but when it escalated so much at the end that i think it was worth it. i dont like monroe as a love interest mostly because he’s a teacher and even the ridiculous setting isn’t enough for me to fully suspend my disbelief and not get icked out - i feel like this would work better in a fantasy/pnr because they’re not usually set in our world anyway.
