This was a fun light read. It was nice to see something from Ali Hazelwood that's a bit outside her traditional formula. I know it was YA but tbh I would've liked a bit more focus on the romance because I wasn't getting as much chemistry between them as I wanted.

Some of the story felt a bit far fetched but I'm okay with that because it was entertaining and cute with low conflict. Probably wouldn't read this again but glad I read it and excited to see what else Ali has in store for us.
