There were components of this that I really enjoyed- Lauren and Asa as characters, their backstory and motivations. I liked their workplace rivalry. I liked the opposites attract vibes, the friend group, the storylines outside of the workplace. Overall, I wanted to like this a lot more.
But I don't know, I feel like the story meandered A LOT. The pacing was really inconsistent. There were a lot of moments where, if I hadn't been on a Libby timeline with the audiobook, I probably would have just set it down and never picked it back up.
