I fear Gus is my exact type. 

I really enjoyed this book! It took me a little bit to get into it, but it was hard to put down when I got into it. One-sided “enemies” to lovers is a cute trope, and I love how this book used elements of grumpy x sunshine (a trope I do not really like) and made it much more interesting. The way the author twisted these tropes gave the characters more depth and made their relationship much more enjoyable. 

My only regret is reading this on an airplane rather than while floating in my pool!

It was okay. I’m still not a fan of JUST romance. Not my favorite.
