4.0

 The premise for this series is so fucking weird, but in practice this was actually a really sweet romance featuring a couple with remarkably good communication skills. The number one thing that drives me crazy in romance books is when there's a small problem that could be so quickly fixed by one adult conversation but, instead, the main couple just pouts in their opposite corners for 200 pages, and, at least in this first volume, this book completely avoids that issue. Literally every time this couple has a misunderstanding they talk it out in less than 5 pages, and both of the MC's are surprisingly emotionally intelligent and well adjusted. I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did, and I will defiantly be continuing the series.
