A super easy story to read, even if it is over 500 pages. There is absolutely 0 plot for the most part, just two adults who have seemingly been in love with each other since they were kids. Yes, at times it got a bit repetitive. Yes, at times I felt it dragged on a bit (Julian definitely could have called in his favour earlier than he did). Yes, sometimes I was hoping for more plot about remodelling the Founder's House. And yes, they definitely should have communicated their thoughts and feelings like actual grown ups.

However, I enjoyed reading this despite some of the criticisms. A lot of romance books that I have read in the past have always ended with children, even when originally characters didn't want them, so to read something that held discussions on infertility and miscarriages and the grief and trauma that comes with them was refreshing.

A bittersweet story that touched on mental health and toxic relationships, as well as regrets. Overall though it was so sweet and funny and there so much love between all the characters - a great easy read with a happy ending and a touch of spice.

I think this is Lauren Asher’s most romantic book. Dahlia and Julian truly felt made for each other. I think that’s true for most academic rivals to lovers stories, but few make the transition from adversaries to partners as well as these two did.

This book was also truly funny! Their pranks on each other made me laugh so much, but nothing was better than Julian’s masterful prank on Oliver!

This is also the perfect time to read it since it heavily features Thanksgiving and Christmas and really got me ready to read more Christmas books!
