I have mixed feelings on this book. This book was better than I expected. I think Maehrer tried to hard to be funny in places. There was some character development and in-development. 

Overall, this book kept me interested. I found the plot to be predictable, and the writing style got annoying in places. The worldbuilding was lacking in areas. The characters were fine. 

I do plan to read the sequel.

Such a cozy fun read! The characters were so lovable and relatable. I’m a sucker for a slow burn and this one is going to be worth it lol the banter is on point and I love the mixed POV. This will be a consistent reread for sure. Loved everything about it!

It be easy to say this is enemies to lovers or sunshine/moody or call it a coworker romance but it really isn’t. The romance is there sure but reading this(while I SO wanted to see them together) I also wanted to see how they interacted with everyone else and see how they realize their feelings. It was more like a romcom where the main characters are more afraid of their feelings than they are oblivious. Over the story was great, awesome fantasy elements, cute humor and all and all a solid read. Sometimes it felt like big reveals weren’t explained enough but that is also a bit of a personal preference. I am also now truly a victim of the book as I torturously wait for the sequel in August.

I found the first 3/4 of the book to be a little slow, and it really could have profited from more in-depth world building. The author’s writing style is nice, but the book lacked depth…. At times, it felt like I was missing a whole backstory. The saving grace in my opinion is the cast of characters and the last 1/4 of the book. The twist was good, and the ending has me looking forward to the next book in the series. I enjoyed the romance as well.
