3.0

Romantic leads had good chemistry, and their relationship built at a steady, reasonable pace. I appreciated that the author didn't let their attraction override their character (ie jump into bed & confessions too soon)
I liked that there were some consequences to the characters actions, though there were also plenty of moments with cringey #girlboss moments that felt a bit forced. 
I appreciated that once the characters got together they weren't just mindlessly having sex every chapter at expense of the plot.
Time moved a bit oddly, especially at the beginning of some chapters where we seemed to float back and forth. Additionally there were a few instances where it seemed we got pronouns/narrator confused for a second.
Overall pretty good, with a very interesting and original plot!
