I'm also disheartened that the spark in their relationship isn't that evident. Though I like that Brianna finds humor in her social ineptitude. I feel like I might like Brianna and Blake as individual characters rather than as a couple.

I was expecting hot sparks with this book, but the lack of emotional depth to the romance at times is definitely a put-off factor for me. Despite that, it does sound enjoyable enough so I will still be giving it a go sometime soon.
