"It's so exhausting pretending to hate you."

So, I'm still debating whether or not Ethan Thomas will make it onto my 2022 book boyfriend list. He's... alright, cute and adorable. I understand why he didn't believe what
Olive said about Dane at first since he's his brother and he knows him longer than Olive, of course,
but the thing is he could've done something better when he apologize to Olive... I think? Rather than just
wearing her bridesmaid dress that looks like a lettuce
inside my head?

Olive Torres, on the other hand, deserves better. She has a lot of potential that the coauthors could make something else more stand out rather than her amazing boobs. Like, her job? She's a woman in STEM, right? But the coauthors make us think Olive is merely an unlucky heroine who despises and fights over everything..

I don't want to talk about him, really, but Dane is a major red flag; I knew he was trouble. Ami is a very sweet twin sister, and I'm glad she
left Dane. In fact, I'm actually more invested in her new relationship
since it feels like the second half of the story was more centered on Ami's relationship and how it affects the main characters.

For the plot, I wasn't really hooked with the story at first, either because I was distracted with other things or because the beginning of the story wasn't vert compelling, but it's getting better and funnier, though I believe the ending could be so much better. I enjoy the banter between Odessa and Ezra (get it) but I don't think this considered enemies to lovers because they didn't hate each other; they simply enjoy arguing. Well, yeah, they did say they hate each other, but it was a misunderstanding, and they still get along well.

You know what's kinda disappointing? Faded to black. Suddenly wake up in the morning. But you know what's exciting? The massage scene. This book is a fun and easy read, I definitely enjoy reading it just not my favorite.

Fun little romance novel. I found the plot very predictable and boring at times, but still generally fun and light hearted.
