I enjoyed this story, I really did. However, I think that this story had some pacing issues that sometimes seemed to leave the reader in the dust. Sometimes, challenges would go by so quickly and people would be eliminated so quickly I felt left in the dust! I also wish there would have been a little more drama and intrigue between characters, but it remained quite sweet which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 

However, the premise was good and I enjoyed the characters, though I wish I would have known more about them. It was just a fun read that made me hungry and crave going to New York, New York! I will definitely read more but this author since I think her premises are interesting and while the execution might fall a little falt, she definitely writes a page-turner.
