- The characters were too shallow and bland
- I hate the MC, she felt so annoying, immature, and she doesn't apologise for her mistakes
- the events went too fast, whenerver there's a problem it's solved in the next chapter
- It felt like nothing happened throughout the whole book, there was no chemistry and reason for them to fall in love, especially since they hated each other, and the end was very rushed and illogical

Imaging getting a random text asking what you are wearing, and you decide to play into the joke and text back. It turns out that maybe the stranger isn’t so bad after all and is kinda nice to talk to. Olivia is the lowest point in her life. She may or may not have been apart of burning down her apartment building, her ex dumped her for her ex-work best friend, and she lost her job. Liv moves in with her older brother, Jack, and his best friend, Collin, until she can get back on her feet. Her and Collin have always been at each other’s throats since they were kids.

Living in a tight space might cause some challenges. Especially when Collin is the random number Olivia has been texting. In Collin’s eyes? His perspective of Olivia being his brother’s baby sister might change.

The story was sweet and funny. As a reader, I was cheering for Olivia to have something good happen to her. The whole texting the random number was funny but Collin should have told her a lot sooner. That would have made the plot better. It could have been a cuter love story.

I also strongly disliked her perception of Collin (she thought he was a rich country club guy). Their argument was also never resolved. It’s like they sudden got over it and made up too quickly. Bit of a red flag. Their constant bickering also got on my nerves SO much.
