As a very quick read, this cinderella-like little M/M romance where enemies turn friends works well enough.Plot is simple but consistent and it develops sensibly. Sensibly, I mean, if one accepts that awful Usonian concept that people working so-called "dead-end jobs" are losers and are supposed to feel like s*** about themselves. This is a very common theme in the US, in fiction, in films and in TV series, but to my European sensitivity a person is not defined by how professionally successful he is, especially considering that a vast majority of people end by working jobs they do not like and that do not pay well enough. In the US as well as everywhere else in the world.The HEA is there, though, and it is nice enough.What I miss, though, is a bit more life to the characters. The psychologies are correctly outlined and writing is rich of potentially interesting details but they never really come alive.A few more pages would not have hurt.
