I am having a hard time getting into this book— reading just a few pages at a time. I don’t quite understand why. I am not even sure if it is the book that is at fault here. The book sure is funny and the main character seems quite well-rounded. Even the story is intriguing. Perhaps it is me. Maybe I am just not in the mood for a light romance read, right now? Lol, why am I craving denser books.

Oh wow this book is picking up. The story is getting so much better and the musings are getting even more compelling! I feel like the enemies-to-lovers trope isn’t really spelled out here as much as the blurb suggests, but I am not complaining. This book is so much more than just a mere romance novel.

I get it now. It is not the story, it is the writing. The story is actually quite good (entertaining and strangely even enlightening in parts). The writing however, goes from very good to just good to too much pomp. Simple activities that must just be stated in 4 words are described in such convoluted 4 paras, it is bizarre! Not to say it is bad, the writing is just jarring. It requires and steals too much focus away
