I needed a little light fun after my last dense read and this was definitely that. I finished it in a day. The banter of the main characters (enemies-to-lovers 😏) was hilarious and snappy and I loved every second of it, which was most of the book. The ending  was absolutely adorable and had me kicking my feet. Fun light read tbh.

I will say two things: this book is a very tame, fade-to-black sort of romance. I didn't think less of it for that - I just wouldn't go in expecting something different. AND #2, the main conflict of the story ends up going down with a ton of pretending-bad-things-aren't-happening-for-the-sake-of-peace-lowkey-gaslighting from multiple sources, including the male mc. He isn't the one who actually does The Bad Thing and he grovels for his part in it so I got over it, but it's something to note.

Toxic Relationship and infidelity not between main characters. Self-aimed fat phobia.

Literally my favorite love story. I loved the story line and the witty banter! This book told a perfect enemies to lovers story without any cliches and the miscommunications were cleared up almost immediately!

The fatphobia wasn’t exactly real, but still could be triggering

While the premise toed the line between funny and farfetched at times, overall I found this book very charming, despite the plentiful misunderstandings. If miscommunication in books is your pet peeve, maybe steer clear.

CW: cheating (not the main couple)

It was a fun read, but a few things (

I really didn't like how Ethan dealt with any issues regarding Dane at all. Like, if he's gonna be that obtuse, I don't want him.

) kinda bugged me about some of the characters. 
Cute and fast read though

enjoyed the majority, lost me in the last 90 pages. such a tone shift to create an unnecessary third-act conflict
