Writing: 3.75⭐️/5
Serviceably written, with some very fun sections!
Characters: 4⭐️/5
I mean, I might just be in love with Joshua, but I thought the characters we focus on were both fun and fresh in their development. I loved their quirks and personalities, and I loved getting to know both of them. However, the side characters definitely lacked some depth and, despite the fact that I love the main characters, I would have loved to see the development of side characters even just a touch more.
Plot: 4⭐️/5
A coworker who hates you, a merger that pushes you to work hard to save jobs, and a hot guy you have to stare at all day. Throw in a momentary illness, a wedding in which one of you needs a date, and a very hot scene in an elevator, and you have a captivating story. Sure, the paintball section drug on way too long in my opinion. Sure, the wedding section could have been condensed to include all the spicy scenes and fewer tense moments. Sure, I could have gone without the misunderstanding tropes times a few times. Sure, the ending lacked a little something something. But, damn, I had fun.

I likes the book but I found it to be hard to get into. Towards the middle it became hard to put down. But I thought it was a good book

first of all, this book as a LOT (more than 3) of jokes about being a slave of some sort. it weirded me out a lot. this book also drops the r slur. also, one more reference to how short and tiny the protagonist was and i may have died. i literally like the trope of the girl being smaller because i myself am the same height as the protagonist, but it went very overboard. the romance aspect of this book was spectacular and if it weren't for the literal slur being dropped I would've given it a much higher rating. the final chapter was actual perfection, their dynamic was amazing. i found the part when Lucy was yelling at Josh's dad pretty cringe though.
