I think this book was more of series of short stoies and the complete story felt a little bit weak to me. i think if you really liked when the coffee gets cold this may be a fun read to pick up. I found it to be a rather quick read!! i just did not feel that connected to the characters. but i thought the stories were fun!!

I think this book had a cool concept but i struggled to feel connected to the characters and i think that this book also moved too fast for me to feel that connected. I may give book 2 a sht, this book did not really hit right for me.

5.0

Honestly the audibook was the way to go with this book. This a is very much a world building book and romance wise i don't think it was the focus of this book. I have so many questions still, but i flew through this book. I loved seeing more about the side characters in this read and diving more into the polticas of the world. We got some answers but so many more questios.

I think this book is going to be a 4.5 star read rounded up to five because there was so many thing about this book that i loved. I loved the unique romance in this book. I also loved how the mental health rep was really infused into this story and also had so many beautfile quotes and writing. I also loved all the side characters and found all the characters unqiue and fun. However i think the writing felt choppy and a bit cluky, but i do know this was trimed down for a indie and am going to give thi book the benefit of the doubt.
