This was a cute book! And the spicy scenes were *spicy* indeed, which was great. 

The plot just kind of bored me, I had to take breaks and read something else in the middle. 

It was not bad, and the writing was good, just maybe not so much for me…

2.0

So I think what made this book not go the way I originally thought was that the characters Amy & Sophie already knew each other. So that took away from the character building, for me. I also didn’t find them to be enemies persay just two people who got annoyed easily but were still able to work together. I think it was formulaic instant lovey and it got too mushy too quickly. Also where was the reality show they hinted at it? The plot didn’t seem like it existed, just a day / month in the life of these characters.

Steamy scenes were honestly excellent but I don't know, I just didn't connect with the characters. I found both Amy and Sophie annoying in different ways. I didn't really care about the plot at all and nothing felt memorable except for Amy's conversation with her dad at the end. It's unfortunate because I was really looking forward to this book.
