I felt this book could have been much short. This book reminded me of some of the characters from grey’s anatomy

Half of the book is « we really hate each other and you will have 0 second of rest with our obnoxious and bitter arguments » and the other half is « we have so many flaws that we are worthless to be loved »
😩😤😒
Nonetheless it is well written and tensed.
The main character are forty so It change a bit.
To me it was too much. I was as wearied as annoyed.
I wanted them to stop.
I concluded that probably it was the purpose of the book. So that’s a win for the author. If not, that’s a big fail.
Please check the trigger warning

I was hesitant to pick this up — I've read "Before Girl" and it just didn't work for me — but I'm so glad I did.
Sebastian and Sara are enemies-to-lovers at its finest. They fight, they scream at each other every possible moment, they have mind-blowing hate-sex, y'know the likes (the smut in this was *chef's kiss*). But there's also so much caring, so much unwanted feelings for each other, so much "I didn't want to like you but here we are".
Sara's character, especially, spoke to me on so many ways — the people-pleaser, the oldest sister, the messed-up perfectionist — and reading about her really felt like someone lifted my therapy notes and printed them. The way she works through her relationship with Sebastian is also messy but it works so well and it's so refreshing to see a relationship where two people really have to work for it. They talk about their issues, their fears, their worries and they work through it together. No instant HEA but something so much more real and all the sweeter for it.
Can already tell this will be one of my 2023 favourites ❤
