This two are just adorable together. I love the childhood rivals to lovers trope so that had me hooked from the beginning. The banter was *chef’s kiss* the tension! Julian is such a good mmc and you can tell this man is so in love with Dahlia that it’s just beautiful. Also! The way this man shows his love with acts of service *swoon*. Dahlia is just so relatable and I love her. Such a good female main character. Love this book

This was my first book by the author, but it won't be my last. I tried reading THE FINE PRINT a while ago and couldn't get into it, but after loving this, I'm definitely going back to it, especially since I have to wait another month for the next book in this series to come out. I'm not a slow-burn girlie, but I ATE THIS UP. 

✔️Amazing banter
✔️Chemistry and tension between Dahlia and Julian
✔️Their moms' friendship
✔️Mental health rep
✔️Childhood rivals-to-lovers, 
✔️"It's always been you"
✔️Easter eggs from Asher's other books (I assume)

This is only my second Lauren Asher book. I will say I went in with very little knowledge of what this book was going to be about. However, I was hooked as soon as I started it.

Julian and Dahlia are the epitome of friends to more to enemies to more. The family dynamics in this were fun to watch because both families were loud, boisterous, and supportive of one another. Their dynamics made the one type of trope I dislike bearable--MISCOMMUNICATION. Which, the way this one happened it wasn't a true miscommunication between them but a failure to communicate.

This book dealt with heavy topics and honestly it was very relatable. I loved how hard Dahlia had things but how much Julian wanted to make things better for her once he knew about them. I also loved how much Julian despised his former roommate and Dahlia's ex. It made so much of the story so much better.
