Slice-of-life stories only work if you are really invested in the characters and maybe the setting. Sadly, this one did not work for me at all.
The writing was too descriptive but for no good reason. I am also not a visual reader at all so the excessive outfit updates did nothing for me.
The characters read more like amalgamations of quirky traits than fully realized people. I was not feeling the romance at all, just two people trying to make a connection. (And it still has a third act breakup.)
The story arc - this was so perfect and ideal that it feels a little uncanny? I don't know how to describe it but Clover Hill in Winning Move felt like it could exist somewhere, this Clover Hill felt a little too naive for my tastes.
