I was hopeful about this book given my own environmentally focused background. The main characters’ occupations gave context for the enemies to lovers plot. However, I felt there could have been more serious character development between them, more opportunities to challenge eachother while uncovering commonalities. Liam is a lovable character, and I like that he was relatively kind from the start even if he came across as serious. He was written to be gentle, sweet, and thoughtful. Mara is light hearted with a good sense of humor. There’s really only one spicy scene, but it was satisfying to read.

WELL……????

Ali Hazelwood is back at it again with an overly quirky, fast talking, soft tiny human FMC and a pensive, brooding, closed-off giant broad MMC—as is her default. I don’t take fault with that, for the most part. Because I am often attracted to that aforementioned type of man. And I was attracted to Liam. But at what cost?? The ending scene was awkward and kinda weird, which was really disappointing because the potential was very nearly achieved. 

There were things I really did like about this novella, but in the end it was more in a “checking it off my list” kinda way. The buildup was pretty good, as far as Mara and Liam’s chemistry, but there needed to be more tension, more pining. More moments of intensity, passion. Also, less stereotypical steminist propaganda which kinda defeats the purpose of a steminist story in the first place.

It was cute, though. And Ali’s writing is always funny and a breeze to get through. I just hoped for more overall story development and more variety in the characters from book to book.

 Wenn ich das nächste Mal denke, ich bin zu sozial inkompetent, um irgendetwas Zwischenmenschliches zu verstehen, denke ich an dieses Buch.

Enjoyed this book a lot! It was a nice quick read. Loved the slow burn and how all along from the beginning you'd know it would get spicy. Very easy and pleasing read.
