I wanted to give this a higher rating as i’m a big fan of Olivie’s work but the plot in this book fell short for me. I loved the characters tho which definitely helped and I enjoyed their relationship with each other. I also liked the ties between the characters and the overall concept of the book. That being said, I am still not entirely sure what the game even is? I don’t know if this confusion was intentional as I am a mere mortal but it still is kind of annoying. I kind of get how to win the game but I also don’t because how they play made little sense to me. Regardless I still enjoyed it enough to finish.
The couple pairings are very cute and i’m glad they get their happy endings.
