While the writer does have wit, humor at the micro-level does not make up for issues at the macro-level. The story, as someone else mentioned, is obvious, and the characters are not interesting enough to make up for it. There are some formatting issues, but I was more annoyed by numerous punctuation errors and the use of "Btw" in the narrative. The main character is never named, that I noticed, which didn't come across as a deliberate plot device a la Rebecca, but as forgetfulness. The reader is not actually given any clear sense of either character.The first few pages are at least fun to read because there are a few funny lines, but those dry up after awhile as well, and are not enough to compensate for the story's larger issues.
