I appreciate the realistic and complex characters dealing with real life issues. I do wish the blurb for the book had at least mentioned that grief / death of a parent would be a huge motivator for the plot.
That being said, the romance itself took up the majority of the story and really felt like watching a rom-com.
Overall a nice read, but definitely check the CWs and make sure you're in the right place to read it!
I will absolutely be checking out more books by this author.

Also loved the casual lesbian relationship of aunt Pete and her wife! I love when it’s just there and it’s not made to be a big deal or part of the plot.
I didn’t find myself emerged in it though, it took me quite a while to finish because I kept getting distracted..
Definitely like Emily Henry’s writing style though, so I’ll check out more of her work soon!

I did enjoy the story and the idea of the bet. It's a rivals to lovers story but I wish it had a more in the rivals section. She seemed to get over her jealousy/hatred/whatever very easily
