First of all: I feel like this book is being mismarketed. It says it's a forced proximity romance, but there is barely either of those present in the story. The beginning was very promising but it went downhill from there. 

The author was trying to do too much. I felt like it was 3 books crammed into one. The lockdown int he hotel, the tv show, the opening of a new hotel. This is probably why the side characters got more character building than the love interest, who was barely mentioned and I felt like there was no spark except for maybe the first few chapters during the "forced proximity". The main female character truly was "too busy for love" with all those different plot lines.

Besides that, I felt like a lot of the story was telling, not showing. An example, someone asks "what makes you say that" and then it continues with a vague quick summary of everything we already know. I get that is why she has to do it, but it didn't make the story very readable. I also would've liked some more atmosphere descriptions. Why did she fell in love with that city/neighbourhood/hotel? Show, don't tell!

I feel like if the author had focused on just one of the three story lines in the book it could have been better, but for now I'd say I'm happy I finally finished since it almost put me in a reading slump.
