3.0

It was a fun, wholesome read and there was a lot that I loved: Gus and January's chemistry, the premise (I was in the same predicament of writing on a deadline), two very different people trying to write as though they are different... it was a great way to have the characters spend time together and to make "enemies" or rivals to lovers work.

But... 

The ending was too rushed: In the second half of the book, the problems felt way too serious for such a fast resolution! I didn't always enjoy January's character (a personal peeve) or the miscommunications between Gus and January, although those were often, blessedly, quickly resolved.

also, sleeping and sexing in a tent next to a burnt out cult home? are we supposed to think this is hot??
