2.0

This is a sweet, frothy little romance novel about two women who are enemies for about 28 seconds who have to run a hotel together for various legal reasons. The inciting incident for why they don't like each other is always vaguely alluded to but never really described for some reason and most of the character voices sound really similar.

The actual antagonist is poorly realized and feels like wish fulfilment in a way that did not work for me. Chandler knew how to get out of the contract but they both refused to do it for some reason and put on this weird charade instead
that didn't even really work.
Also number one pet peeve is when white authors use "white" as a pejorative describing antagonist characters and of course that happens here too. Lettie babe you're white too!

I think this book definitely has its audience but that doesn't include me.
