Review of "Winner's Curse" on 'Goodreads'

I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. It's just meh. The writing style is ok, I liked some characters and I didn't care about others, the isn't a lot of worldbuilding but I understand this is the first part of a trilogy and in the other two book there can be more about it... I think the thing I couldn't with was the romance. I don't know how to explain it. I just felt like they didn't have chemistry, at least not in a romantic way. I could see them like friends who play games, talk about stuff and laugh together, but not as lovers.
So, I suppose that's all. Maybe I continue with the series because I want to know if it gets better or worse.
