This is a story about a game developer pining for her work rival for years. The story and the setup was very fun and sweet. There is a side plot about the main characters favorite book series being developed into a video game, and I liked that it was on theme with the main love story. However the story itself mainly took place in a few days and it felt a little rushed. So I think this story could've benefited from being a little longer so there would've been more of a slow burn.

Otherwise I enjoyed it. I like that it was only released as an audiobook, and I think it was a short and nice way to start the year.
