The positives:
Cute, fast paced, easy to read. Kinda what I wanted to break up the high fantasy and crime genres I’ve been reading.
The negatives:
Some of the dialogue and description was SO CRINGE oh my lord. “DERRRR”!??!!?!!? In PUBLISHED LITERATURE? Bye.
FMC Lucy is so childish and can only seem to talk about how tiny she is all the time. And a Smurf collection being her second main personality was so weird. Overall just a very odd way to write a character as weird and quirky. MMC Josh was slightly better done. Also there was hardly any enemies in the enemies to lovers trope? it was done so poorly, where’s the strong motive behind hatred? This was more like a minor rivals to lovers.

Honestly, if you sat me down and told me this was some type of zootopia fanfiction I would’ve believed you
Great book!
I loved this book. Its such a feel good book. Its a little predictable but none the less, it is so good. A couple meet at work, hate each other, go to a wedding together, and end up falling in love.

"I'm turning redder than a flippin strawberry."
Someone euthanise me. NEVER read this book ever I can't physically give it more than one star because that would be an INSULT to ALL GOOD LITERATURE. How this book is so highly rated I have ZERO clue because Sally Thorne should NEVER pick up a book again. The characters were written so poorly, for a book that claims to be 'enemies-to-lovers slowburn' ITS NOT VERY SLOW IF THEY'RE MAKING OUT AT 7% IN.
"Le sigh."
I wish I fucking DNF'ed this book but I forced myself through because I was reading this for a book club. Never again. If I was in Farenheit 451 this would be the FIRST and ONLY book I would ban because this is a travesty against every other author alive. Does Sally Thorne even know how to pick up a pen?
"I stand and slap my own butt loud enough to make my point."
In Chapter 5..? ...Ok. NOTHING about this book was good. Every page turn evoked such a visceral rage from me that I'm pretty sure I saw red at one point. The writing is so poor, the characterisation is poor, the pacing is poor, EVERYTHING IS POOR SO WHY ARE WE MAKING SALLY THORNE RICH FROM SALES.
The main character, Lucy, is obsessed with collecting smurf figurines, has complete mood changes every chapter, is apparently SO tiny that "the smallest suit they had is still so big that people laugh when they see me". Okay Sally Thorne. Lucy can't decide whether she hates Joshua (the ML) or wants to "scrunch up [his] T-shirt into a bowl and eat it with a dessert spoon." How relatable am I right, when reading this I really wanted to pour pure cyanide into a bowl and eat it with a dessert spoon!
"I cross my eyes at him, poke my tongue out, and say, 'Derrrr.'" Threw up a little!
Readability: 4/10
Relationship Development: 1/10
Characterisation + Depth 1/10
Plot Cohesion 4/10
Reasonable/Grounded 3/10
Pacing 2/10
World Building 3/10
Pathos/Emotiveness 7/10 (but ONLY because of the pure rage I felt while reading)
Smut/Romance 4+1/10 (/5 how heavy it was, /5 how good it was)
Uniqueness 2/5
Language 1/5
TL;DR: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK SUCKS, DO NOT READ
