I liked this but I didn’t love it. It fell a bit flat for me primarily due to pacing issues. The novel shines in moments of witty dialogue and engaging chemistry between the characters. It was those moments kept me invested but unfortunately, they were overshadowed by sections that dragged, making it hard to stay engaged or find the motivation to keep going. The slower pacing made certain parts feel unnecessarily drawn out, which impacted my overall enjoyment.

That said, when the book was good, it was really good. The humor, the tension and the character dynamics worked well. I just wish the story had moved at a tighter pace to keep that momentum going. With a few tweaks this could’ve been rated higher for me.

The book features witty dialogue between characters, but its slow pace made it difficult to stay engaged. Thank you, Net Galley for the arc version of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
