I really enjoyed reading this and just whipped through it! I thought the mirroring was really clever, and the characters were different enough without being totally clashing. However, I don't enjoy one character really feeling entitled to know everything (including really personal info) about someone they don't know very well, so it felt a bit unbalanced on that point. It was somehow both exactly and completely different than what I was expecting! The banter was great.

I do like a good romance to cheer me up from time to time. There is only so many bleak books I can read in a row without needing a feel-good pick me up, and I have found that I'd rather choose a romance book than watch a tv show. It just goes straight to my heart, and I can do all the imagining myself.

So this one was super sweet, and would definitely recommend it.
Only minor comment - don't like the title. Don't feel it suits this book at all, in fact neither does the cover! Yes, it's a romance, but it's also much more than that. It deserves a stronger title, says I!
