I DNF this book at 80% because it totally put me in a reading slump. I went from reading at least 2 books a month to taking 3 months to get through this because it was just boring to me. I feel like the romance did not really build, it just suddenly happened and felt so forced by the author so I didn't really feel anything. There was no anticipation, and no reason for me to want them to be together. There were no characters that I felt anything towards. I did not root for or hate any, they were just boring. The idea is interesting but the writing/plot of the book just ended up being boring.
