The Burnout

I found the beginning of this book to be quite funny and relatable. I can definitely imagine it as a hilarious romcom. Overall, I had a good time reading it. However, I feel like it tried to weave one too many things that in the end felt a bit random and unsatisfying. Between the art thing, the mystery messages thing, the kayak incident, the health kick thing, the hotel drama, and the Terry thing, the actual romance didn't feel as fleshed out as I wanted it to be. And the message behind the story was spelled out so clearly and repeatedly that it felt like I was being talked down to. It's an ok enemies to lovers story, but it's not great. Fun and funny is how I would mainly describe this.

I will, however, keep the phrase “the ride is it” very close to my heart.
