So cute. I really loved their dynamic and Rivers as a father was just so so cute!

I also thought that the conflict towards the end was done pretty well. I don't particularly like how the characters acted but it made sense and is not toxic like so many other romance books.

Also all the cute and couple scenes we got after that totally made up for it. I love that we didn't just see that they got together and they will live happily ever after but that we actually got to see that. I love to read about domestic bliss.

Also I hate her mum.. Everytime they talk about her I just got so so angry. I get that it's a realistic representation of bad parents but I just didn't want to read about it.

Her best friend and child are the absolute best though!!

I also didn't like the way they knew and "hated" each other before they got the results. I feel like everyone just wants to include enemies to lovers in their books but it felt out of place. It also very clearly wasn't hate but very strong attraction + denial of that attraction from the very beginning.. idk how often she mentioned that he is an asshole or that he took her parking spot..

I also didn't like the narrative voice. It is told from a second person perspective and that just really took me out of the story. Since I listened to it as an audiobook it was okay but if I read the physical copy that would have probably annoyed me even more.

All in all its super cute though and I like the relationship. Would recommend :)
(unless you despise the soulmate trope but it even says so in the title so what are you even doing here? 👀)

I really liked this! The characters have depth and the concept is very entertaining. The writing is really good, just as I was expecting after reading Love and Other Words by the same authors. And I love Juno so much pls protect that kid
