This was fine. I think had I not been on an airplane I would have DNF'ed it pretty early, but I was a captive audience. This book is basically like "hey so I heard you like the miscommunication trope in your romance so I put a little miscommunication in your miscommunication". Lauren is determined to take everything Asa says/does in bad faith, and Asa honestly is kind of doormat-y in that he just lets it happened. This book had its moments but I found the constant poor communicate between the two of them to be grating, and the fact that they went from enemies to harboring secret crushes to saying I Love You within a week made me feel legitimately insane (derogatory). The scene where they hook up in Lauren's office was good though.
