This follows your typical noir story set up but set in the almost sci-fi future. It's a quick read with a fun plot and interesting characters.

This was a fun and lighthearted romance with an enemies-to-lovers plot and a sprinkling of science. Overall I thought that the characters were likeable and the story cute. My only real complaint is that the antagonists plot was very predictable. Still, this was a fun and enjoyable story.
