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

2.0

This book is an easy read, pretty entertaining in the first half, but loses momentum quickly and has a pretty problematic plot as far as the romance goes. It’s enemies to lovers/misunderstandings, but it’s over-simplified and doesn’t have realistic “obstacles” for the characters.

way too much victim blaming and not believing the main character when her brother in law comes onto her. It’s reconciled at the end, but totally just glosses over it like it was a small misunderstanding. all the trust flew out the window and it’s like “nbd, he’s still so cute” like what. Also, I don’t like how many people took low blows at the main character’s personality—she also gets fired from a much-needed job because of this dude and I didn’t feel like that way necessary.

. Would not rec this book—read a summary, and save your time.
