I really wanted to love this book. It was cute, and I loved the premise, but I just wanted more out of it. 

There was a slow burn, and it was cute, but I wanted to feel more tension during it - the anticipation and let down. The internal thoughts and feelings of each of them. 

I loved their deal to help each other succeed, but I wish we got more of the pressure of it. It felt like friends hanging out, and I missed the tense transition from dislike to begrudging companions to friends. 

The twist was a nice change from the classic happily ever after, but I just wasn’t as emotionally invested as I wish I was when it happened. 

The writing was good, and the plot was cute. I enjoyed reading it. I just was hoping for more.
