This isn’t a bag read. For me, I was bored in the second half. I lost interest in the main characters and wanted way more romance build up. I didn’t feel the giddy feeling that I usually have when reading romances. 

As always with this authors books, I loved the descriptions of the settings. As someone who grew up in Toronto, it felt like a warm hug. Especially in this book with the “questy” game the characters played. I wish the characters continued to play the game throughout the book. I think I would have been more interested.
