A book I would describe as a modern classic, one that has become the talk of the town when it first came out and has somehow become a staple in contemporary pop culture that many would redeem as enough for it to be considered a good book. And it was, truly, there being nothing majorly concerning I would feel like discussing in displeasure regarding the story. Yet, somehow, I still find myself hesitant to give it more than three stars.

I don't know what it is, if it is the blandness of the characters of the lack in depth in their chemistry, but I just can't seem to fall in love with it. I like it, I absolutely would recommend it to anyone and have only great words to say regarding the story, it was just... not my cup of tea I suppose.

Estaba dudando en si darle 4 o 5 estrellas… Pero es que este libro… Ha conseguido mantenerme enganchada durante 3 días seguidos, mi cliché favorito plasmado de una manera que me ha encantado. Y ese final… ¡Quiero un Joshua Templeman para mi solita!

Fell in love with this book the first time I read it, and it's now a comfort read/listen right up there with Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice!

It's still just as good on the third re-read!

Rival coworkers desperately hide their attraction through quips and biting remarks.

okay for an actual book i’d give it 2 stars BUT for a romcom book (comparing it to spanish love deception, kiss quotient, love hypothesis etc.) it’s a 4.

TBH! loved the couple.. actually shipped them like i never ship them in romcom books. ALSO actually a funny book!!! i laughed a lot not just out of cringe.

also i normally hate the male love interest (like adam carlsen and aaron blackford) but i kinda loved josh
however, this book had practically the exact same plot as every other booktok/bookstagram romcom book (seriously like i genuinely had to remind myself it was a diff book) but i think it’s like a better version of the popular booktok rom com enemies to lovers office romance guy falls first books!

there were so many moments that i was like wtf is happening this is so weird and unrealistic but that’s all romcom books
