The story was great, the idea was there. The execution was a little underwhelming. I also felt like the author was repeating a lot of points the reader was already introduced to, I think 20 pages could have been cut off the book by taking those repetitive chunks out. And I also felt like the relationship was lacking between to the two main characters. It felt a bit rushed but once they got there it was adorable.
