I do not like the writing style. I often don't mind a lot of telling over showing, but it has to at least be CONVINCING. Everything is just too surface level. The romance does not appeal to me at all. I was promised an "intense academic rivalry" but this is just two girlies with a crush. So what if they mildly annoy each other? The book focuses just as much, if not more, on their attraction to each other from their first meeting.
