Report:
Narrative voice: 3rd person past tense
Trope: dating in secret, opposites attract
Sexy: 2.5/3 (somewhere between open and closed door, doesn't get too explicit)
Romance: 3/3 (purely focused on the romance)
Funny: 2/3 (never haha funny, but not sad either)
Easy to read: 3/3 (fast and sweet)
Writing: 2/3 (nothing exceptional, but not bad)
General thoughts:
The thing is, I had to dig deep to find stuff to say about this book, it wasn't amazing, but it definitely wasn't bad. It's a fine and cute romance read that lacks the oomph to make it a great one.
Very romantic; actually it's major flaw is that the bone of contention is so weak and silly it is sort of ridiculous.
max powell is kinda annoying? but like lovable annoying so i understand olivia
