Series review: As a reverse harem reader, it's impossible to not have heard about this series. And having finally read it, I don't fully understand the hype. I enjoyed it! I thought Willa was often genuinely funny, though I think many readers will be annoyed by her antics. I liked the guys, I liked the concept of the world, I liked the general story. I liked it! But I wouldn't hold it up as a pinnacle of the genre. Though I mostly found Willa to be funny (I still chuckle over the swimming scene) her personality does mostly boil down to "clumsy and sassy" and the men are literally named for their one defining character trait. The plot gets unnecessarily  convoluted in some places. Ultimately, I liked it but it's not outstanding.
