“Worst in Show” by Anna E. Collins is a rivals to lovers / slow burn story with the added bonus of lots of doggy hijinks. While it did take a bit for me to get into the story I was eventually drawn in. I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Cora and Leo evolved. I could relate to qualities of both characters. I also liked the quirky group of dogs that play a big role in moving the story forward. In terms of the actual writing, in general I thought it was fine. There were a few instances of spice that I wasn’t expecting and was a little off-putting. I felt like it would go from a PG rating to PG-13 type rating without any warning. The spice wasn’t even that intense; I just didn’t expect it. Overall, I think this would be a good read for dog loving readers who want a story of rivals turned lovers.
