Sawyer Greene is done with romance.

Once a bestselling author of the genre, she’s been left with nothing but heartbreak and bitterness.

Mason West is a hopeless romantic.

He has a habit of falling in love with all the wrong people. So when the two find themselves stuck in a lift together, Sawyer is determined this will not be their meet cute.

But the universe has other plans.

Sawyer and Mason make a plan to cure him of his hopeless romanticism, her of her writer’s block. It’s simple. Sawyer will become the romcom love interest of Mason’s dreams and ruin romance for him one trope at a time…

There’s just one rule: do not fall in love.

What could go wrong?

I know it's probably a "me" thing, but this one didn't do what I hoped and I ended up cringing a lot.
Too cliché and with excessive amount of smut.

Unfortunately, just no

Starts strong with a fun meet cute in the elevator but I found it got 'meh' quickly after that

Not a fan of the narration [audiobook] of Mason's POV, especially when he's voicing the speech of women characters. It just sounded silly to me and the way he voices Sawyer is jarringly different than how the other voice actor sounds as Sawyer's POV.

The first world problems of the characters are notably first world, like the way Sawyer has this issue with romantic partners not being able to handle how busy she is with her job as an author. It struck me as odd because many jobs include busy periods and inconsistent hours so it felt odd how often she brought it up (even just in her internal monologue) like it was insurmountable and all 'woe is me, nobody understands my incredibly deep and unfathomable creative process'. She's so dramatic about it and just feels immature and self absorbed to me, like she's genuinely not ready for or wanting a relationship. She's busy looking out for herself at the moment, I feel like she'd be a fun main character in a finding yourself type of story but in a romance it didn't work for me. Between that and how hung up she is on her ex/how much she still needs to work through that relationship and it's breakdown, I found it hard to root for her and Mason ending up together.
That said, there is a pretty abrupt 180 towards the end where she addresses some of these issues.

I did like the way they keep friendship love at the foundation of their relationship
I also liked how they bantered, engaged with each other's comical bits and had a really good time together

Cute and optimistic ending

Meh
