I struggled with reviewing this one. It felt like it was taking me forever to read this book, but I also enjoyed large portions of it. I did feel like it wanted to be 3 different books as I felt like there kept being little climaxes throughout . I enjoyed the SNL-like portion, but it also felt like fluff. Then the emails between them almost seemed to be trying to rush the relationship that the author realized she was taking too much time to build.

This was a cute little romance, but it wasn’t one I “couldn’t put down”. Definitely worth a read if you’re in a slump and want something mindless.

I'm not gonna lie, this was neither romantic nor a comedy and I felt really detached, maybe because I didn't like the writing style

This was a really good and easy read. Loved the story idea and I enjoyed the conversations/interactions between them.
