This book started out not great, leaning on some really troubling tropes, but recovered by the end. I'm not a fan of building a relationship on a bet, and then "forgetting" the bet/not walking it back. Also not a fan of the sexual assault and victim blaming of "well he obviously wanted it because of X". There's also some plot armour with a random person communicating gossip. There's a lot of problematic elements.

By the end most of these issues were overcome in some way, and they seemed cute together. It's unfortunate that the story had to take such a terrible rout to get there. The book maintains a light-hearted tone even through the problematic parts.
