This wasn’t horrible but also I didn’t love it. To be fair, I have mixed feelings about romance novellas in general because I feel like the relationships can be really rushed and the connections feel contrived, which rang true here. Overall it felt pretty surface level. The way the emotions were written was  more melodramatic than I prefer. 

The diversity was great and both main characters were likable, though they weren’t particularly robust characters. In general, I found it to be a bit choppy, both in writing style and storytelling. 
There’s a lot of POV switching, even abrupt switches in the middle of scenes which tended to jolt me out of the story.
