This book took me more than a year to read. In the early weeks of reading, this was such a draaaag. I love the premise and the characters were great but something about the writing or the plot pacing just didn't keep me engaged. It got to a point where I had to either choose to DNF or speed read and I chose the latter. Skimming and simply reading the dialogue/only the bits that felt interesting certainly pitched up the pace but the fact that I even had to do that.... ugh
Anyways, overall it's a solid story, the characters are good, the premise is intriguing, the romance is sweet. If you're able to sit through whatever odd roadblock I hit while reading this then I'm sure you'll actually enjoy it. I gave it three stars objectively speaking but my enjoyment level was at a solid 2.
