This was a short and sweet listen and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t without its flaws but it really had so much potential. From their rival to the gaming aspects, the set-up felt fairly unique. 

Something just missed the mark a little bit for me. One thing I know for certain is that I would’ve appreciated a little less miscommunication between the MC’s but that was kind of half the premise. She hit us with the classic “he hates me” but really he is actually kinda obsessed. 

These two were cute together, though. I was kinda laughing about them ditching their co-workers to go have bang sessions. At the end of the day, this was a fun listen and I always know what to expect from Ali Hazelwood.
