This book drove me crazy with how slow it goes and how obtuse the main character is. I love the idea behind the book and am curious about the plot but the enemies to lovers seemed worse than other books I’ve read somehow - too flip floppy without the proper range of emotion in between. I still want to know how the series ends as it is intriguing but damn the heroine almost made me put it down.
