It reminded me of a mashup of ‘Despicable Me’ & a 2000’s rom com… It was just so much fun to read and I can’t wait for the rest of the series! However, since finding out this is going to be a trilogy, I believe the romance and plot will get better in the next two books. I didn’t realize this was a series so when I was almost done with the book and the characters hadn’t even kissed I was very confused. As a stand alone though, this book doesn’t really hold up. Since this book is advertised as a romance first, I really wish they would’ve at least romantically kissed. Overall, it was a fun read, but I really hope for more for the rest of the trilogy.
