I liked this, but I didn't love it. Actually, I almost put it down when I learned the characters were named January and August (or Augustus). But overall it was worth sticking around.

The set up of the book and the start of the romance was amazing 10/10. She realizes her college rival and fellow author is her neighbor and after they keep running into each other, they make a bet to switch literary genres. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, and I was super interested in her meta struggle to write a romance novel. There's also some interesting plot points with her dad.

But somewhere around the halfway to two-thirds mark, it sort of lost me. He got weird and distant and it was frustrating to read about and she's got upset and convinced he doesn't like her over and over again and that was frustrating to read about. Then it was just kind of okay until the end. Maybe my expectations were just too high but it really didn’t stick the landing. Still, I want to give a couple of her other books a try.
