The characters are loveable but there was to much backstory. 
I felt this book could have been much short. This book reminded me of some of the characters from grey’s anatomy

Enemies-to-lovers is not my go-to trope, and hate-fucking is usually right out, but wow did this one work for me! I could feel the yearning deep in my belly — exactly the feeling I read romance for but don’t always find. Why did I sit on Kate Canterbary for so long? Thanks go out to the Bonkers Romance podcast for introducing me to this book.

O M G. This book. Sara. Stremmel. Forced proximity. Enemies to lovers. This one hit me square in the chest. I don’t think I’ve related to a character in a book like I did to Sara. Kate Canterbary really did an excellent job writing how it feels to be a recovering people pleaser and someone who wants to take up as little space as possible. And Sebastian allowed her to take up space and be the loud, messy person she hides from others. It was a beautiful love story where the conflict felt real and deep. I loved this and will be checking out more Kate Canterbary!

**I do want to mention that there a couple of stray references to the pandemic. The story is post-pandemic but there are references to it.**
