It was well written. I especially liked how multi-faceded the characters were. 
Lots of drama at some point in my opinion unnecessary. The intercourse as once said by the mal MC is not sensual in any way which may not be everyones taste. 
It is more a watching characters fall in love than a falling in love with the characters.

At first, I gave the book 4 stars because I enjoyed 75% of the book. I don’t normally read enemies to lovers but the writing style had meeeee. However, three act break was very hurtful and I think it should not have been forgiven as fast as it did.

After Jules confesses everything to Josh. He told he forgives her and starts having sex with her. During their intimate time, he finally says that he actually lied. He also tells her this is a goodbye fuck and her best quality was her vagina. Now this was Jules’ biggest insecurity and she just took back her power from a man who was telling her the same thing. For a man she loves to say had to be the worst thing ever. I feel like after the third act, there should have been more done to right that wrong. I think more could have been done say readers that it is not okay for your partner to use your insecurities against you just because they are in pain. Well, time did past on that incident, I just wished for more

. It was a solid book despite that major issue. I think it would have been 4.5 or 5 without the third act break up.

Tropes;
Enemies to lovers 
Enemies with benefits 
Best friends brother 
Forced Proximity 
One bed trope 
Dual POV 

Did this book have to be 500 pages long? No. Did I still love it? Yes. 

I loved the back and forth bickering between Josh and Jules and their chemistry was great. I mean they were straight up yelling about how much they hate each other and then kissed. That was *chefs kiss*. 

I also loved that this was somewhat of a slow burn and that they continued their bickering banter even after they stopped being enemies.

What I did not like about this book was when Jules told Josh she was the one that stole his stuff and then he straight up lied to her and said he forgave her when he didn’t. He then initiated sex with her (while angry at her) to then use that against her and purposely hurt her (emotionally). I did not vibe with that at all and this seriously made me want to give this book 3 stars. 

I think that situation is very manipulative (and consent is questionable in my opinion) as Jules is consenting to sex with Josh not knowing that he is actually just having sex with her as a method of hurting her. Idk I would be interested to see/hear everyone else’s thoughts on this. 

Overall I still really enjoyed the enemies/with benefits to lovers trope as I don’t think there are that many books with this trope. Or at least I haven’t read many with this trope. 

I also loved all the little crumbs of Alex/Ava and Bridget/Rhys.

Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Pedophilia

Jules describes non-consensual advances from her step-father, which is why I have indicated adult/minor relationship and pedophilia. These are not romanticized in the book, but discussed as trauma. However, there’s also a scene between Jules and Josh that qualifies as SA. Read with caution.
