Slow burn that was too slow and long. Maybe it’s the narrators but it took forever to finish because I wasn’t into it.

I so so badly wanted to love this book. The premise was so fun but the characters fell flat for me and frequently the style of the authors prose left me confused or feeling like I missed a key part of the action.

Cute! Sawyer and Mason had great banter at the beginning, but it tapered towards the middle and was a bit clunky. I wish it would’ve been dual POV in first person, as it was weird listening to the narrators but then speak in 3rd person. I loved all the rom-com references and notes around tropes, I just wish the latter half was a bit stronger. 

Possibly the pettiest reason for DNF-ing a book but when disappearing like “post-reputation era” Taylor Swift was mentioned I knew that this would include far too many wannabe Swiftie references. I can look past a few references even though they’re cringe but you gotta at least get the facts right 🙄
