Affari d'amore

It felt fresh and fun, but I wonder if the author had a specific reason for choosing this trope or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The shift from rivalry to romance happened pretty fast for me—am I the only one who wanted more build-up or was it just right?

There were some really funny moments, but also some heartfelt scenes. Do you think the tone works well throughout, or does it shift too abruptly at times?
