For the past couple of weeks I have used the Olympics as a substitute for a personality so I loved the Olympic setting in this book. What I don't understand is why the author decided to set the 2024 Summer Olympics in Athens as opposed to Paris. 

There were some aspects of this book which I enjoyed for example the friendships and the Olympic village however due to the fortnight timeline in which the Olympics take place, the romance is so rushed.
