BIPOC M/F MCs
Disability rep
Mental health rep (PTSD/depression/anxiety)
Super cute late 20βs matureish student romance (FMC 26/MMC 28). Grad student and mature undergrad love to hate and love each other.
Just over 5 hour read felt super short compared to my last few reads. Spice level was excellent not too much and fit perfectly with the rest of the novel.
I will instantly be reading the second book of this series.

Uggggggh I loved this so much π Yet another enemies to lovers, that's fairly light on the enemies, huge on the lovers, with witty and snarky banter which just soothed the soul.
Reese and Jay just made the perfect pairing. Just enough opposites in personality to balance one another out, but still manage to be perfect for one another.
A huge part of my love for this came from the disability representation. Jason is an army vet who lost his leg and has a prosthetic. At no point in the book does the heroine view this in a pitying light, it's openly discussed and embraced as part of the character. With Reese, she has PTSD from the loss of her father, but it's not a defining characteristic, where trauma is used as a whole backstory and damages her relationship.
Neither character relies on self sabotaging behaviours and is honest and open about who they are as people and just worked so well together.
I swear, I could've read about these two for another 200 pages.

This was a cute romance! The chemistry was amazing between Reese and Jason! I wish there had been more sexy scenes though ;). The ending was quite intense, which felt like it came out of nowhere, but I really appreciated the resolution and the maturity of both characters to communicate with each other. It was just adorable and I canβt wait to continue the series!
