This was so witty and charming! I enjoyed every moment reading this book. However I do think I must be reading too much enemies to lovers because I was so confused in the beginning. I didn't expect the realistic / slightly harsh treatment of the characters in the beginning. Nothing bad happened, but I think I expected the main characters to be secretly in love immediately. This was a refreshing change! 
I highly recommend this love story and will be reading more books by the author

Thank you to Netgalley and Bloomsbury for sending me this ARC!

3.5 stars

I loved Gwen and Art are Not in Love, so I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, I struggled to get into the story, and it took until about 40% of the way into the book before I felt I could connect with any of the characters. Once I finally connected, I enjoyed the storyline and the slow build of tension between Mariel and Clem. I thought the side characters were well thought out, and I cried when Baxter died to save them.

Overall it was a good read, but it wasn't my favourite.
