Perfect amount of angsty, hate to love you energy.
This reads like garbage fanfiction.
I'll never hold against the book that it's a cliché so-called enemies to lovers romance (they find each other hot from the get-go but their "hatred" exists because of bad first impressions that could have been cleared up from day 1 by ~communicating~) but the writing I can't let slide... The inner dialogue from both characters is very heavy-handed and filled with "He does this. She makes him feel xyz. This is bad. He can't help it. She's so attractive, he's already hard." or " She feels something in her chest. Why does he act like this? He looks at her like xyz. She refuses to think about it". No sense of mystery, no depth, everything predictable, everything spelled out at all times, zero "show, don't tell" to be found. The plot is no better, this could all have been an email.
Honestly I was just bored, the romance never made me swoon and the smut wasn't even hot 💀
