This was fun and cute, but honestly the execution left much to be desired. I was expecting more based on the premise, and the story was too simple and surface level. I wish we had more scenes of just Diana and Jeremy together to build their relationship more. We didn’t get enough time to see how their feelings towards one another changed. And their third act breakup was a little dumb, but at least it got resolved quickly.
There were also a lot of little things that bothered me. Like how Diana immediately ran to tell her friends about everything. She even outed a character to her friends immediately after that character asked Diana not to tell anyone. That is not okay.
Another thing that bothered me isn’t unique to this book. This is another case of they weren’t actually enemies and liked each other the whole time but for some reason were a little snarky to each other. I don’t understand why they disliked one another.
I enjoyed my time reading this, but was left wanting more. It’s a fun but simple story. I would call it a good palate cleanser between books.
