DNFing at 100ish pages. I love Stephanie Archer, so I went back to this one as the only one of hers I hadn’t read - and it’s just not doing it for me. I’m not connected to the characters, and they’re supposed to be age 31/32 and the maturity level is not matching. I’m not buying the enemies to lovers. I’m sorryyyy

Idk I don't like the humour and the chemistry isn't for me and reviews are not making me feel optimistic

This author’s writing style isn’t for me! The atmosphere she was going for definitely worked, I got the right vibes from the characters, but I just couldn’t get behind the stylistic choices. Even in the way the pov’s are done, the pacing, etc. Regardless, the plot was pretty cute and I could see it being cute up until I decided to dnf.

Ugh this book… okay let me just say I loved this book in the beginning. I loved how the characters just bounced off each other. The flirting? The tension? I was so invested. I love Stephanie archer and her books sooo much but the ending for this book was not it for me… I was really disappointed. For me it felt super out of character after all the growth for both characters to go through such an extreme break up, and then getting back together. I truly felt like it was not needed at all… it was hard for me because it was a 4/5 star read for me and then at the end it just felt so not right. I couldn’t imagine the FMC leaving like that after all the work she did with herself, and the MMC it almost felt like all the time they took to develop their feelings, being friends, clearing the air, and falling in love was not worth it for her to just ditch up after admitting she loved him… idk the ending was just not it for me :(

I’m a huge fan of Stephanie Archer but this book confused me. It felt like the characters weren’t really developed, one day she’s being mean and the next day she wants to kiss him. It was readable and that’s why I gave it 2 stars.
