Cattle Stop by Kit Oliver

Cooper and Whit must work together to save their farm from bankruptcy, but will it be possible considering they can't stand each other, when they have to share a room?
I get frustrated with a whole novel of miscommunication and lack of communication, when a single conversation could clear up everything, so yeah. I felt like there was a lot missing from this book. There's a lot of telling rather than showing, and I felt as though I was missing out on a lot of the backstory between Cooper and Whit. I found it very difficult to connect with the characters, because not much time is taken to explore their motivations or personalities beyond 'is gorgeous' or 'has a crush on', so I didn't care about their story or romance. All the characters are introduced all at once, so I found it hard to differentiate between them because none of them have particularly strong personalities or characteristic traits. I know Drew makes cheese and Whit is kind of grumpy and Cooper has a crush on Whit and Penny is... there? but I need more to enjoy a novel, basically. There's not anything major 'wrong' with the book, but I didn't enjoy the experience of reading for the reasons stated.
