Chrysantha is so so so annoying and insufferable. The majority of the book was probably about her complaints and ”childish” behavior. She grew more on me towards the end, but not very much. I liked how she never backed down from Eryx and showed him that she wasn’t scared of him.

Trivia Levenseller’s writing is just so fun and easy to read, love her!!

Did I ask for this book?
- No
Am I still gonna read it?
- Hell Yesss!!

edit:
well i read it!!! and it was so fun!! obviously this wasn't a necessary addition but it sure as hell wasn't a bad one.
Chrysantha is so easy to love. she is fun, loves pink, sarcastic, loves reading, vicious, manipulative, has a mean streak, and is ready to kill a man or two when they get in her way. what's there not to like?
Tricia Levenseller absolutely did her character justice.
The romance was so unbearably adorable too.
constant banter, fighting, arguing with each other. HOT. sign me up anytime.
I did not think this book would serve this hard but it did and no one is happier than me right now.

This is how enemies to lovers is done well. I still half expected her to murder him in the later chapters and loved watching Eryx and Chrysantha begin to understand each other better. They're stuck with each other so it forces them through the 'I hate you' phase and into the 'I'll tolerate you while I plot to get rid of you' phase believably.

This was a fun and funny read and delivered exactly as expected.
