trigger warning: emotional manipulation and abuse, broken engagement mention, job loss mention, academic stress and anxiety, mild sexual content
This book is Never Have I Ever and Candy Jar wrapped in one dorky enemies to lovers romance. I genuinely like this author duo's books but this one really blew it out of the water. Idk if it's the fact that I saw the comparison to NHIE in the description or what but I couldn't help but imagine Ethan and Allison as Ben and Devi. Most of the cast is white and there's no real parallel beyond the academic competitiveness and party related almost intimate moment that really line up. My brain could not picture anything else. But really that added to the experience imo.
