Jolly good fun, interesting enough to keep reading - not so interesting you can't put it down. The romance angle was unnecessary especially given that the author clearly understands that social bonds can be powerful and meaningful without a romantic tilt. That said it's not egregious and is more of a footnote in the story than a main theme, so it's manageable. Sort of cabin in the woods meets reality competition.
