Cute one. The ending felt a bit dragged and pointless but other than that it was fun.

Writing: 3 - I hate it when the dialogue gets paused for internal monologues. It was almost too much to bear.
Background story: 3 - too messy at times
Sexual tension: 2 - this one was not a slow burn. I’m not sure it’s a bad thing though.
Sex scenes: 3
Male protagonist: 5 almost too good to be true but then again… that’s Rom Com lol
Female protagonist: 3 - she starts really bad but gets better. Hated how she’s a doormat with her “friend” at the beginning.
Overall: 3.8
